Amino Acids & Proteins

Protein Structure/Dep on...1° Primary--DNA, 2° Secondary--H-bonds b/w amino acid backbone, 3° Tertiary--CHAPERONE PROTEINS non-cov folding

Alpha Helices & Beta Sheets are forms of 2° SECONDARY proteins structure because of H-bonding patterns

LIVER "deaminates" amino acids, converting them into ammonia (toxic), then combines them with CO2 to form UREA
