and processes are very prominent in their manifestation and our awareness of them. Others, however, are more subtle yet their function is incredibly important. Consider, for example amino
acids and cell organelles. Each forms the basis for complex interrelationships that are at the heart of physiological function.
Amino acids are the building blocks with which proteins are formed. They are critical in life function. They can combine together alone to form proteins or combine with
amino acids, organics, and/or inorganic compounds. The specific structure and arrangement of those components determine protein characteristics and even the class to which a particular protein belongs.
As has been noted, amino acids and the proteins they form have varied levels of structural organization. Four particularly interesting examples are
1. simple proteins, 2. glycoproteins, 3. lipoproteins, and 4.nucleoproteins. Proteins comprised solely of amino acids, as might be expected, are classified as simple proteins. Those comprised
of amino acids in conjunction with other organic or inorganic compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids are classified as conjugated proteins. Conjugated proteins include glycoproteins (proteins containing
carbohydrates), lipoproteins (proteins containing lipids), and nucleoproteins (proteins containing nucleic acids). Amino acids can actually play a personal role in our lives, a
role that we can modify to some degree to fit our own purposes. Consider, for example, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) functions as a source of quick energy for the
body. It provides the athlete with both short-term power and long-term muscle mass. ATP is generated from creatine, a natural amino acid that is synthesized in the liver,
