Textbook Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 18.5CIAP
Two of the most complete (balanced) proteins (i.e., proteins that have the best ratio of the amino acids for humans) are cow’s milk protein (casein) and egg-white protein. Explain why (not surprisingly) these are very balanced proteins for human growth and development.

Proteins are essential to most processes in the human body. Given your understanding of the M phase of the life cycle, please discuss two
different protein dependent processes associated with this phase. Make sure you provide specific details about the chosen processes.
The simple average molecular weight of the 20 common amino acids is 138 , but most biochemists use 110 when estimating the number of amino acids in a protein of known molecular weight. Why do you suppose this is?
(Hint: There are two contributing factors to the answer. One of them will be apparent from a brief consideration of the amino acid compositions of common proteins. See, for example, Figure -Bellow)
Proteins are composed of both polar (hydrophilic) and nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids.
Assume you are starting with fresh homogenized/pasteurized cow's milk. A major protein in
the milk is a whey protein known as alpha-lactalbumin (in a tertiary structure). If this protein
is denatured (for example by the introduction of heat, acid, or other means), discuss how and
why scientifically it could end up becoming an effective emulsifier in a product containing
olive oil and red wine vinegar.
