diagnosic approach to protein abnormalities
1. patient presents
2. total serum
3. albumin level (albumin/globulin levels)
4. if a/g abnormal then do serum protein electrophoresis
5. if Serum pe is normal then do urine PE
if Urine PE is normal there is no problem

albumin/globulin ratio
norms, and diseases associated
Norm is greater than one. anything less than one is indicator of disease.

If liver malfunctions Alb goes down, but total unaffected.

Hyperproteinemia-lots of protein in blood stream
causes: dehydration (proportionate decrease in all fractions
or multiple myeloma-increases in one clone of Ig but alb does not change->low alb/glu

Hypoproteinemia-
decrease protein in blood
alb/glb ratio decreased

decreased intake-malnutrition or malabsorption-=-> no change or decrease in ratio

What is positive for PKU in guthrie test and why?
The bacteria grows on the plate.

because the extra phenylalanine created in infants with PKU inhibits the b-2 thienylanamine which inhibits growth (double negative=postive growth)

fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase defficiency which produces the byproducts succinyl acetoacetate, and succinyl acetone

symptoms includ cabbage like odor ricketts, failure to thrive
8
Kartenlink
0
alkaptonuria
inhibits fumarate synthesis pathway

caused by homogentisate oxidase deficieny

Maple Syrup Urine disease
block in anabolisis of branched chain amino acids

can't changed branced alpha keto acids to CoA deriviatives because of lack in alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase deficiency

branched chain ketoacids create maple syrup (ketones smell sweet)

symptoms-difficult to feed, vomiting, lethargy, ketosis, urin smells like maple syrup, neuro damage,

treatment-diet of mixed pure amino acids
10
Kartenlink
0
Homocystinuria
block in methionine to cystein chain

type I homocystinuria can't change homocystein to cystathionine because of lack of cystathione synthase.

homocysteine builds up and is excreted in urine

symptoms-thrombosis, osteoporosis, dislocated lens, mental retardation, scoliosis, concave in chest

treatment-diet- restricted methionine, increased cystein, high vitamin B6

describe a peptide bond
The carboxyl of one aa and the amino group of another condense (lose h20) an dform peptide bond. so chain is NCC NCC. peptide bond is shorter and stronger than the CN bond.

the CCNC bonds are in a plane
12
Kartenlink
0
levels of protein structure
primary-chain of amino acids, not functional, but eventually determines structure

secondary- alpha helix or beta pleated sheets, formed by h bonding with itself (alpha) or between chains (beta)

Tertiary- folding of a chain and secondary structure to form subunits, uses disulfide bonds, hphobic/hphilic interactions

quarternary-very functional form of protein-spacial arrangement of subunits via diverse bonding mechanisms

13

Normal behavior in serum protein electrophoresis
in 8.6 solution, acids are negative and go to positive pole(cathode).

The largest/closest to (+) is albumin, followed by alpha 1, alpha2 bumps of about a quarter of the size followed by beta, a little smaller and a wide spread gamma charge.

albumin and electrophoresis
maintains colloidal osmotic pressure and is a transport protein

is a negative acute phase protein meaning if bump is smaller there's probably some sort of inflammation. when it is decrease there is less osmotic pressure and edema increases
17
Kartenlink
0
alpha 1 globulin and electrophoresis
includes alpha1 antitrypsin which inhibits trypsin, if low it indicates emphysema, but if high it indicates inflammation (acute phase protein

alpha 1 acid glycoprotein increases in cronic inflamation and increases a lot in malignant disease (acute phase protein

alpha 1 fetoprotein-fetal protein at embryonic stage, increases in maternal serum and amniotic fluid lead to fetal open neural tube defect, extreme rises in adults indicates hepatocellular or germ cell carcinoma. if decreased in embryo, may cause down's syndrome
18
Kartenlink
0
alpha 2 globulin types and behavior in electrophoresis
increases

alpha macroglobulin- inhibits trypsin which lead to dephrotic syndrome which leads to loss of protein. also increases in cirrhosis and diabete millitus

haptoglobin- binds to free hemoglobin and is lowered in hemolytic anemia, but increased in inflammation (acute phase protein)

ceruloplasmin binds copper and is lwoered in disease and increase in inflammation (acute phase protein)
19

waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (IgM class malignancy) causes fatigue mucous membrane bleeding and enlarged lymph nodes and spleen-increased protein/viscosity, normochromic/normocytic anemia, rouleaux blood smear, hypercellular bone marrow, lots of IgM (plasmaphoresis and chemo)

clone of differentiated B cells creates Ig with either light chain only or heavy chain only

Case: 65 y/o with sever back and leg pain. has unexplained wight loss, frequent bloody noses and reoccuring infection.
Lab: normal WBC, lower RBC, Heme-decreased, platelets low, calcium high, Alb/Glob less than one, albumin a little low
possible multiple myeloma

Calcium produced by holes in bones, Red blood cells are decreased

has decreased plasma cells so reoccuring infection is caused by no Ab's, platelets are low because of thromboocytothemia
33
Kartenlink
0
polyclonal gammopathy
many kinds of clones being produced Antigen causes multiple types of Ab's to be created. Ab's target one epitope so many Ab's react to same Ag

caused by infection autoimmune disease or neoplasm
34

albumin
transferrin

Biuret reaction
method for finding amount of protein in sample

add copper and biuret. copper crosslinks C=O groups.

must have a tripeptide to be detected because in order to crosslink the c=o's there has to be that many.

test shows c=o's not just amino acids
36

refractive index
principe: light changes direction when passing from one medium to another. more protein more refraction sin theta incidence/sin theta r

sources of error-altered proteins, hemolysis, temperature (as temp increases RI decreases, standard and sample should be same temp,

Sensitivity: high concentrations (grams/dL)
37
Kartenlink
0
turbidimetry
principle: reduction of light transmitted (light blocked)
protein must be exposed to weak acid to create particulate proteins suspended

sources error: # and cross sectional area of particles, timing (longer you let sit, the more transmittance), temp- high temp makes particulates faster and more likely to deflect light, problems with alb/ glob ratio

sensitivity low concentrations (mg/dL) good for urine and spinal fluid
