4. PROTEINS
Proteins are naturally occurring macromolecules made up of
repeating units of L-amino acids.
There are around 20 different amino acids which are
categorized as essential amino acids and non-essential amino
acids.
Essential amino acids are those which cannot be synthesized
by the body and thus have to be provided from the diet.
Essential amino acids include Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine,
Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Threonine, Methionine, Arginine,
Lysine and Histidine.
Non-essential amino acids are synthesized by the body.
Non-essential amino acids include Alanine, Arginine,
Asparagine, Aspartic acid, Cysteine, Glutamic acid, Glutamine,
Glycine, Proline, Serine, Tyrosine
13. REACTIONS OF AMINOACIDS
TRANSAMINATION: It is an exchange of functional groups
between any amino acid (except Lysine, Proline, Threonine) and
an α-keto acid.
The amino group is usually transferred to the keto acid to new
amino acid.
Ex: Pyruvate---------------------Alanine
Oxaloacetate --------------- Aspartate
α-Keto glutarate -----------Glutamate

16. REACTIONS OF AMINOACIDS
DEAMINATION: Elimination of amino group from amino
acid with ammonia formation.
TYPES OF DEAMINATION:
OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION
REDUCTIVE DEAMINATION
HYDROLYTIC DEAMINATION
INTRAMOLECULAR DEAMINATION
25. LIPIDS
Lipids are a variety group of biomolecules that contains
hydrophobic portion in its structure.
Lipids play many roles in body, that includes
constituents of cell membrane (Glycerolipids, Sphingolipids, Cholesterol)
Energy storage
Hormones (steroids)
Vitamins (Fat-soluble)
Oxygen/Electron carrier (Heme)
