Protein Biochem Flashcards
Sulfur containing AA
Cysteine & Methionine
Aromatic
Tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosine
Hydroxyproline
collagen for H bonding
Hydroxylysine
collagen for interchain cross-links
G-Carboxyglutamate
target protein to membranes via Ca chelation
Pyridoxal Phosphate
derivative of B6. Used to ‘hold’ the amino groups
Urea Cycle combined Eq
3 ATP + HCO3 + NH4 +aspartate -> 2ADP + AMP + 2Pi + PPi + fumarate + urea
Urea Cycle Step 1
Ornithine -> Citrulline (catalyzed by Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I
Carbamoyl P Synthetase I
mitochondria. Activator: N-acetylglutamate
Urea Cycle Step 2
Citrulline + Aspartate –> Argininosuccinate (catalyzed by Arginonosuccinate synthase)
Urea Cycle Step 3
Argininosuccinate -> Arginine (catalyzed by Argininosuccinate lyase)
Urea Cycle Step 4
Arginine -> Ornithine + Urea (catalyzed by Arginase)
Glucogenic AA Nonessential
Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartate, Cysteine, Glutamate, Glutamine, Glycine, Proline, Serine
Glucogenic AA Essential
Histidine, Methionine, Threonine, Valine
Gluco & Ketogenic Nonessential
