  • Proteins contain atoms of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), and Nitrogen (N)
  • Made up of long chains of amino acids connected via peptide bonds to each other.
    • most proteins are a few dozen to several hundred amino acids long!
  • Primary - Sequence of Amino Acids 
  • Secondary - Hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone causing amino acids to fold into repeating patterns 
  • Tertiary - 3D folding due to side chain interactions 
  • Quaternary - Protein consisting of one or more amino acid chains

  • Protein is an important part of a healthy diet;
    • our body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes. 
    • also used as an energy source.
  • Proteins in foods do not become body proteins directly, instead they supply the amino acids that the body uses to make its own proteins.

  • Protein is not only found in animal foods but in plant foods as well
  • In Australia and NZ, the major sources of dietary protein are:
    • 33% from meat, poultry, fish
    • 25% from cereals/cereal-based foods
    • 16% from dairy products
    • 8% from vegetables
  • FACT OR MYTH - Protein is only needed if you want to build muscle 
    • NOT TRUE 
    • Protein has a very important role a healthy immune system, developing antibodies, hormones, enzymes and regulating blood sugar - all integral processes for survival
