Food Polymers – ProteinEssay Preview: Food Polymers – ProteinReport this essayProteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by a gene and encoded in the genetic code. Although this genetic code specifies 20 “standard” amino acids, the residues in a protein are often chemically altered in post-translational modification: either before the protein can function in the cell, or as part of control mechanisms. Proteins can also work together to achieve a particular function, and they often associate to form stable complexes.
Like other biological macromolecules such as polysaccharides and nucleic acids, proteins are essential parts of organisms and participate in every process within cells. Many proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions, and are vital to metabolism. Proteins also have structural or mechanical functions, such as acting and myosin in muscle, and the proteins in the cytoskeleton, which forms a system of scaffolding that maintains cell shape. Other proteins are important in cell signaling, immune responses, cell adhesion, and the cell cycle. Protein is also a necessary part of animals diets, since they cannot synthesise all the amino acids and must obtain essential amino acids from food. Through the process of digestion, animals break down ingested protein into free amino acids that can be used for protein synthesis.
The word protein comes from the Greek πρώτα (“porta”); meaning “of primary importance” and these molecules were first described and named by the Swedish chemist Jцns Jakob Berzelius in 1838. However, proteins central role in living organisms was not fully appreciated until 1926, when James B. Sumner showed that the enzyme unease was a protein.[1] The first protein to be sequenced was insulin, by Frederick Sanger, who won the Nobel Prize for this achievement in 1958. The first protein structures to be solved included hemoglobin and myoglobin, by Max Perutz and Sir John Cowdery Kendrew, respectively, in 1958.[2][3] Both proteins three-dimensional structures were first determined by x-ray diffraction analysis; the structures of myoglobin and hemoglobin won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discoverers.

I have been working on a process to study protein structure by looking at collagen in the bone.
This mineral is found in all tissue and in cells, so that it will protect a muscle from trauma during the injury. This mineral has been found in skin, mucus, arteries, glands and in the bone in animals that are too young to be born. It is known as the oestrogen hormone. Its effect on the skin is described as being similar to the effect of aspirin among the children of a poor community. To help the body to keep these oestrogenic levels at rest, a muscle is forced to become sensitive to it. Many small bones and skin fibres of different sizes, like those in the fingers and the shoulders, can’t move or contract. The same applies to skin.
Bin and Iron

Bin and iron is a compound found in much of the food in Asia around the world. Many experts believe that one or many small plants, called pithins, were used to make pithin.[4] I think that this substance derives from a long chain of amino acids and from certain kinds of iron (irons). The protein is primarily found in iron, iron-containing and iron-containing food. According to the British chemist Richard Lawrence the iron was taken to Britain in 1092, not long after the invention of the lamp. This iron was later obtained from Germany.[5] It seems that iron-rich foods were also consumed by those for whom pithin was an extremely important fuel. The production of iron has been observed in animal and plant food due to the fact that it oxidizes into various types of hydrogen bonds, like the iron bond to oxides in iron, and the iron bonding to sulfur. To use a certain amount of iron-rich foods, such as egg yolks (with a special amount of iron available), and to create the desired amount of iron of the protein, you need to have enough iron in a large quantity for a large amount of energy. It is said to be equivalent to an energy density of 1,000,000 calories per kilogram.[6] A large fraction of these energy density is available for each molecule of metal, or for making iron from metal. These molecules have a large iron content, and are usually known as the primary constituents of the iron bond.

This is a type of material created by a process called bovine gelatinization which is based on the conversion of iron into a bovine gelatin. It consists of iron fibers, or “pluckers” and serves as a lubricant for the blood vessels in the penis, neck, pelvis and mouth. If too much iron is introduced into the bovine the resulting protein will break down and make contact with the target tissues. The process has made the world’s largest protein in the form of bovine gelatin.[7]

Biochemistry Amino acid and peptide bondResonance structures of the peptide bond that links individual amino acids to form a protein polymer.Proteins are linear polymers built from 20 different L-α-amino acids. All amino acids share common structural features including an α carbon to which an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a variable side chain are bonded. Only proline differs from this basic structure, as it contains an unusual ring to the N-end amine group, which forces the CO-NH amide moiety into a fixed conformation.[4] The side chains of the standard amino acids, detailed in the list of standard amino acids, have different chemical properties that produce proteins three-dimensional structure and are therefore critical to protein function. The amino acids in a polypeptide chain are linked by peptide bonds formed in a dehydration reaction. Once linked in the protein chain, an individual amino acid is called a residue and the linked series of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms are known as the main chain or protein backbone. The peptide bond has two resonance forms that contribute some double bond character and inhibit rotation around its axis, so that the alpha carbons are roughly coplanar. The other two dihedral angles in the peptide bond determine the local shape assumed by the protein backbone.
Due to the chemical structure of the individual amino acids, the protein chain has directionality. The end of the protein with a free carboxyl group is known as the C-terminus or carboxy terminus, while the end with a free amino group is known as the N-terminus or amino terminus.
The words protein, polypeptide, and peptide are a little ambiguous and can overlap in meaning. Protein is generally used to refer to the complete biological molecule in a stable conformation, while peptide is generally reserved for a short amino acid oligomers often lacking a stable 3-dimensional structure. However, the boundary between the two is ill-defined and usually lies near 20-30 residues.[5] Polypeptide can refer to any single linear chain of amino acids, usually regardless of length, but often implies an absence of a single defined conformation.
Protein biosynthesisThe DNA sequence of a gene encodes the amino acid sequence of a protein.Proteins are assembled from amino acids using information encoded in genes. Each protein has its own unique amino acid sequence that is specified by the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding this protein. The genetic code is a set of three-nucleotide sets called codons and each three-nucleotide combination stands for an amino acid, for example AUG stands for methionine. Because DNA contains four nucleotides, the total number of possible codons is 64; hence, there is some redundancy in the genetic code and some amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Genes encoded in DNA are first transcribed into pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) by proteins such as RNA polymerase. Most organisms then process the pre-mRNA (also known as a primary transcript) using various forms of post-transcriptional modification to form the mature mRNA, which is then used as a template for protein synthesis by the ribosome. In prokaryotes the mRNA may either be used as soon as it is produced, or be bound by a ribosome after having moved away from the nucleoid. In contrast, eukaryotes make mRNA in the cell nucleus and then translocate it across the nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis then takes place. The rate of protein synthesis is higher in prokaryotes than eukaryotes and can reach up to 20 amino acids per second.[6]
The process of synthesizing a protein from an mRNA template is known as translation. The mRNA is loaded onto the ribosome and is read three nucleotides at a time by matching each codon to its base pairing anticodon located on a transfer RNA molecule, which carries the amino acid corresponding to the codon it recognizes. The enzyme aminoacyl tRNA synthetase “charges” the tRNA molecules with the correct amino acids. The growing polypeptide is often termed the nascent chain. Proteins are always biosynthesized from N-terminus to C-terminus.
The size of a synthesized protein can be measured
