什么是蛋白质
为数众多的有机化合物,生物化学作用所需的复杂氨基酸聚合物。蛋白质中出现的氨基酸共有二十种,数百个到数千个单位串连起来。有效的蛋白质具有三层重要结构:一级结构(氨基酸序列)由基因决定;二级结构(几何形状,通常是螺旋)由氨基酸之间或内部共价键的角度来决定;三级结构(环状或折叠的整体形状)由氢键与氨基酸侧链来决定。三级结构具有突起、裂缝或囊穴的球形或片状,掌握活动的关键。蛋白质有单纯蛋白质(仅含氨基酸)与接合蛋白质(参阅conjugation),接合对象通常是饮食中少量需求的维生素或金属。血红蛋白是接合蛋白质。蛋白质会与醣类(醣蛋白)、磷(磷蛋白)或硫(硫蛋白)共价连结。构造上的蛋白质是胶原蛋白与角蛋白。几乎都是蛋白质。生物其他的活性蛋白质包括激素(如胰岛素、促肾上腺皮质激素、生长激素);输送蛋白质携带物质通过细胞膜或到身体不同的部位;还有抗体。蛋白质在工业上有黏着剂、塑胶与纤维等用途,不过大多还是用於食品。
protein
Any of numerous organic compounds, complex polymers of amino acids needed for biochemical processes. Twenty different amino acids can occur in proteins, in chains of hundreds to thousands of units. An active protein has three important levels of structure: primary (the amino acid sequence), determined by the genes; secondary (the geometric shape, often a helix), determined by the angles of the covalent bonds between (peptide bonds) and within amino acids; and tertiary (the looped and folded overall shape), determined by the hydrogen bonds (see hydrogen bonding) between amino-acid side chains. The tertiary structure, globular or sheetlike with ridges, crevices, or pockets, holds the key to an enzyme's activity. Some proteins are simple (amino acids only), some conjugated (see conjugation) to other groups, often vitamins or metals needed in tiny amounts in the diet. Hemoglobin is a conjugated protein. Proteins may be covalently linked to sugars (glyco-proteins), phosphorus (phospho-proteins), or sulfur (sulfo-proteins). Structural proteins include collagen and keratin. Almost all enzymes are proteins. Other biologically active proteins include hormones (e.g., insulin, ACTH, growth hormone); transport proteins, which carry substances across membranes or to different parts of the body; and antibodies. Proteins have industrial uses in adhesives, plastics, and fibers, but most uses are in foods.

什么是肝阳上亢证
肝阴不足,与肝阳失去平衡协调,肝阳相对偏盛,浮动上亢所引起,临床以眩晕,头目胀痛,面红目赤,头重足轻为主要表现的证候。多见于头痛、眩晕、中风、耳鸣耳聋,以及西医的高血压、脑出血、脑血栓形成等疾病。肝阴与肝阳,相互依存,相互为用,对立统一,保持着相对平衡的协调稳定状...

什么是老化
身体各个系统及各种器官和组织在生长发育成熟后,随增龄而逐步出现的各种生理的、代谢的和功能的改变。而增龄(aging)包括的时限更长,包括从发育开始即发生的变化。老化有4个特点:普遍性、进行性、消耗性及内源性。老化是一种正常发展过程,是一种生理过程,与遗传及...
