Amino acids Flashcards
Which amino acid is not required for the synthesis of glutathione
serine
The first line of defense in brain in conditions of hyper ammonemia is
Glutamine synthesis
which coenzymes out of the following is required for the oxidative deamination of most of our amino acids
FMN
The amino acids is absorbed from intestines
Active transport
in mammalian tissues, serine can be a biosynthetic precursor for which amino acid
Glycine
The acid that undergoes oxidative deamination at the highest rate is
Glutamate
ketogenic amino acid is
leucine
The amino acid, from which synthesis of the protein of hair keratin takes place is
Methionine
after releasing oxygen at the tissues, hemoglobin transports
Carbon dioxide and protons to the tissue
an example of chromo-protein is
Hemoglobin
For synthesis of prostaglandins essential fatty acids give rise to a fatty acid containing how much carbon atoms
20 carbon atoms
aspirin inhibits the activity of the
Cyclo oxygenase
Control of urea cycle involves the enzyme
Carbomoyl phosphate synthetase
A compound serving a link between citric acid cycle and urea cycle is
Fumarate
The rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines is
hydroxylation of tyrosine
The amino acids involved in the synthesis of creatin are
arginine glycine and active methionine
Maple syrup urine disease is an inborn error of metabolism of
branched chain amino acids
ammonia is transported from muscles to liver, mainly in the form
Alanine
