Amino Acid -Building blocks of proteins -Have amino and carboxyl group -Classification...
1.Non Polar = Glycine, Alanine, Proline, Valine, Leucine, Methionine
2.Polar = Serine, Threonine, Cysteine, (-)Asparagine, (-)Glutamine, (+)Lysine,(+)Arginine
Essential AA
Amino acid that can not be synthesised by body. Ex. histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,
methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine
WHY ? = {because the human body lacks the metabolic pathways which required to
synthesize these amino acids}
Non Essential AA
Amino acid that can be synthesised by body. Ex. alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic
acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine
ZwitterIon
It is a molecule that has a positive charge on one atom and negative charge on another
atom that means the net charge on it is zero And also have isoelectric pH.
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Albumin is the most common protein found in blood plasma. It helps
to ensure blood stays in arteries and veins, and helps carry
hormones, vitamins, and enzymes
pressure in the circulatory system which encourages water to cross the barrier of the capillaries and enter the circulatory system
Is an enzyme found in almost all body tissues. It plays an important role in cellular
respiration, the process by which glucose (sugar) from food is converted into usable
energy for our cells. Effect of Temp on Enzyme reaction rate is if the
Temp increases it increses the speed of reaction
In myocardial infarction LDH1(H4) increases. but after optimum temperature it get slowed and
get denatured. lower temperatures decrease the
rate of an enzyme reaction
Aminotransferases or transaminases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the
interconversion of amino acids and oxoacids by transfer of amino groups. (AST) Serum
aspartate transaminase is mainly found in the liver, cardiac muscle, and other tissues and
(ALT) serum alanine transaminase is predominantly found in the liver.
a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst which help
ENZYMES in fastening of the reaction (aka autocatalyst)
1 OXIDOREDUCTASES: catalyze oxidation/reduction reactions
2 TRANSFERASES: transfer a functional grout (e.g. a methyl or phosphate group)
3 HYDROLASES: catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds
4 LYASES: cleave various bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation
5 ISOMERASES : catalyze isomerisation changes within a single molecule
6 LIGASES: join two molecules with covalent bonds.
Enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity.
Artificial inhibitors are often used as drugs, but
can also be insecticides such as malathion, herbicides such as glyphosate,
or disinfectants such as triclosan.
Catabolism = the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form
simpler ones
Kreb 12 atp
gluconeogenesis = metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose
from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrate
