1. Characteristics of Proteins
•Proteins are organic molecules. They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen , and sometimes sulfur.

Why do we need protein in our diets?
•Our bodies cannot make all the amino acids needed.
•We need to get 8 amino acids from our diet
•We call these the 8 essential amino acids

8 essential amino acids
• Isoleucine• Leucine• Lysine• Methionine• Phenylalanine• Threonine• Tryptophan• Valine
• Muscles• Blood, Muscles, Hormones• Herpes, triglycerides• Hair, skin• Depression• Collagen, tooth enamel• Depression• muscles

•Plant material does not contain the 8 essential amino acids
•People who are vegetarians must eat a combination of beans and rice to obtain all the essential amino acids

3. Uses of Proteins•Structural-
They serve as the building and binding materials of living things.

•Transporting material
•Ex. Hemoglobin transports oxygen in blood cells

•Movement
•Ex. Collagen is a protein that forms tendons, ligaments, and cartilage

• Enzymes• Control
rate of reaction and regulate cell processes
• Ex. Insulin lowers blood sugar

• A catalyst that lowers the amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur.
• Almost every cellular reaction has an enzyme

What happens if you don’t have a certain enzyme?
• If you are lacking an enzyme, you aren’t able to break down certain proteins.
• For example, if you are lactose intolerant, you are missing the enzyme lactase.

4. Structure of Proteins• Building blocks are amino
acids.• There are over 20 different
amino acids.
• Cells combine amino acids in different ways to form thousands of different
proteins.

• Macromolecules –ProteinsAmino acids form chains that can fold and spiral and make complex protein structures.
