From Samplex Flashcards
Amino acids that are both ketogenic and glucogenic
Phenylalanine, isoleucine, tyrosine and tryptophan
Amino acids that are exclusively ketogenic
Leucine, lysine
Most common precipitating fx to g6pd def
Infection
Causes of hypochromic, microcytic anemia
CLITS (anemia of Chronic disease, lead poisoning, iron def anemia, thalassemia, sideroblastic anemia)
Bilirubin bound to albumjn
Delta bilirubin
Bilirubin must be below what level to prevent devt of jaundice
2.5mg/dL
Conjugated with primary bile acids to form bile salts
Taurine and glycine
Precursor for phenylalanine
Tyrosine
Precursor for thyroxine and melanin
Tyrosine
Precursor for niacin, serotonin and melatonin
Tryptophan
Precursor for homocystreine
Methionine
Deletion or addition of a base wc results in protein products that are shorter than normal and hence usually non functional
Frameshift
Formation of a new stop codon making the protein shorter and non functional
Non sense
New codon specifying the same amino acid, no effect on protein function
Silent mutation
Most common genetic error of amino acid transport
