Study Notes
Protein Structure and Function
- Primary protein structure defined by amino acids linked in a linear sequence via peptide bonds
- Proteins are responsible for maintaining nearly 80% of colloid osmotic pressure in intravascular fluid, with albumin being the primary protein.
Urine Protein Tests
- 24-hour urine protein test measures the amount of protein excreted in urine over a 24-hour period.
- This test is used to detect Bence Jones protein, which can be indicative of multiple myeloma. This detection is done often via a heating test.
Protein Separation Techniques
- Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate proteins based on their size and charge.
- Fractionation is a technique used to separate proteins.
Protein Importance
- Proteins play a crucial role in the immune system, maintaining pH balance, and transporting various molecules.
- Proteins are synthesized primarily within cells, specifically the ribosomes, not in the kidneys.
