The Chemistry of Whey Protein
569
There are two main types of proteins:
- Globular Proteins
> These are spherical shaped cells that react with both alkalis and acids. They form a colloid solution where the substances are evenly spread throughout.
> These proteins act like enzymes that speed up the reactions throughout the body.
> Enzyme - proteins that control and help biochemical reactions in the body.
-Fibrous Proteins
> These proteins are wire-shaped and do react with water and tend to resist alkalis and acids. They connect easily with each other to build connective tissue, tendons, and fibers throughout the body.
There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins.
Their general molecular formulas are -NH2CHRCOOH.
The two functional groups are carboxylic acid group -COOH,
and the amine group -NH2
functional groups - group of atoms in a molecule that have
characteristic chemical reactions regardless of the rest

The Chemistry of Whey Protein
Intro
Whey protein is a substance that helps build muscle and can be used as a meal replacement. It is a fine powder that can be mixed with just about anything, most commonly, milk.
The flavors of it include strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and cookies n' cream.
Building Blocks of Proteins
Whey protein can be bought at most health food and fitness stores. Containers of it range from $20-$100.

Chemistry's Role
These chemicals come together to build muscle and restore dying cells throughout the body. They cause muscle to grow faster by supplying nutrients to oxyradicals that form when your muscles are fatigued. These nutrients then neutralize the oxyradicals which allow the muscles to grow without pain.
oxyradicals - any group of radicals that contain reactive oxygen atoms
Lecithin
This compound is in the extracted oils of seeds. It is important in a healthy metabolism and for cardiovascular health. It also is helpful in fetal development and athletic performance.
Casein
This is a by-product made during the curdling of milk. It has an amino acid composition for growth and development. Casein is a solid that is highly flammable at high temps.
