The document discusses amino acid metabolism. It begins by defining amino acids as derivatives of carboxylic acids with an amino group substitution. Amino acids are essential for building proteins and participate in many metabolic reactions. They are classified by the properties of their side chains. Protein digestion involves proteases in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine that hydrolyze proteins into amino acids. Amino acids are absorbed into the blood and transported to tissues. Within cells, amino groups are transferred between amino acids and ketoacids in transamination reactions or removed as ammonia by deamination. The liver converts ammonia into less toxic urea via the urea cycle to prevent intoxication. Defects in the urea cycle can

Overview of amino acid anabolism and catabolism and fate of ammonia in amino acid metabolism. This is targeted for MBBS, MD, BDS and general Biochemistry students
In ureotelic organisms, the ammonia deposited in
the mitochondria of hepatocytes is converted to urea in
the urea cycle. This pathway was discovered in 1932 by
Hans Krebs (who later also discovered the citric acid cycle)
and a medical student associate, Kurt Henseleit.
Urea production occurs almost exclusively in the liver
and is the fate of most of the ammonia channeled there.
The urea passes into the bloodstream and thus to the
kidneys and is excreted into the urine. The production
of urea now becomes the focus of our discussion.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. WHAT IS AMINO ACID?
Amino acids are derivatives of carboxylic acids formed by substitution of -hydrogen for
amino functional group
4. WHAT DO AMINO ACIDS DO?
Amino acids are essential to life, have a role in metabolism,
and are important in nutrition.
They form short polymer chains called peptides, as well as
longer chains that are called polypeptides or proteins.
About 75 percent of the human body is made up of chains
of amino acids, which is why they are so vital to how your
system functions.
All the chemical reactions that occur in the body depend
on amino acids and the proteins they build.
5. TYPES OF AMINO ACIDS
Amino acids are classified as
Nonpolar (hydrophobic) with
hydrocarbon side chains.
Polar (hydrophilic) with polar or
ionic side chains.
Acidic (hydrophilic) with acidic
side chains.
Basic (hydrophilic) with
–NH2 side chains.
Nonpolar Polar
Acidic Basic
6. • non-essential amino
acids
- can be synthesized
by an organism
- usually are prepared
from precursors in 1-2
steps
• Essential amino acids
- cannot be made
endogenously
- must be supplied in
diet
eg. Leu, Phe…..
Nutritionally-Essential amino
acids :
Lysine, Leucine, Isoleucine,
Valine, Methionine,
Phenylalanine,
Threonine, Tryptophan
Nutritionally Nonessential
amino acids: Alanine,
glycine, aspartate ,
glutamate, serine, tyrosine,
cysteine, proline ,
glutamine, aspargine
N.B. Histidine & arginine are
semi essential. They are
essential only for infants
growth, but not for old
children or adults where in
adults histidine

• Legumes poor in Trp, but rich in Lys;
Cereals poor in Lys, but rich in Trp
• Mutual complementation of amino acids
• Protein deficiency-kwashiorkor, generalized
edema and liver enlargement, abdomen bulged
• Suggestion: the combined-action of protein
in diet
9. • Proteins are generally too large to be
absorbed by the intestine and therefore
must be hydrolyzed to the amino acids
• The proteolytic enzymes responsible for
hydrolysis are produced by three
different organs: the stomach、pancreas
and small intestine (the major organ)
Digestive Tract of protein
10. Stomach
• HCl (parietal cells ) and Pepsinogen (chief cells )
• The pH of gastric juice is around 1.0. Food is
retained in the stomach for 2-4 hrs
• HCl kills microorganisms, denatures proteins,
and provides an acid environment for the action
of pepsin
• Autocatalysis: pepsinogen is converted to
active pepsin(Pepsin A) by HCl
11. Pancreas and small intestine
• Endopeptidase (pancreas)
Trypsin: carbonyl of arg and lys
Chymotrypsin: carbonyl of Trp, Tyr, Phe, Met,
Leu
Elastase: carbonyl of Ala, Gly, Ser
Exopeptidase (pancreas)
Carboxypeptidase A:amine side of Ala, Ile, Leu,
Val
Carboxypeptidase B: amine side of Arg, lys
• Aminopeptidase (small intestine):
cleaves N-terminal residue of oligopeptidaes
12. *L-amino acids are actively
transported across the
intestinal mucosa (need
carrier, Na + pump,
Na+ ions, ATP).
Different carrier transport
systems are: a) For neutral
amino acids.
b ) For basic amino acids
and cysteine.
c) For imino acids and
glycine.
d) For acidic amino acids.
e) For B-amino acids (B-
alanine & taurine).
*D-isomers transported by
simple diffusion.

18. Mechanism of transamination
All aminotransferases require the
prosthetic group pyridoxal
phosphate (PLP), which is derived
from pyridoxine (vitamin B6).
First step: the amino group of
amino acid is transferred to
pyridoxal phosphate, forming
pyridoxamine phosphate and
releasing ketoacid.
Second step: -ketoglutarate
reacts with pyridoxamine
phosphate forming glutamate

26. TRANSPORT OF AMMONIA TO THE LIVER
Two mechanism are available for the transport of ammonia
from peripheral cells to liver for detoxification
The first uses glutamine synthetase to combine glutamate
with ammonia
The second , used primarily by muscle, involves
transamination of pyruvate to Alanine
27. GLUTAMATE AND GLUTAMINE RELATIONSHIP
Ammonia Nitrogen can be transported as glutamine.
This is the first line of defense in brain cells.
Glutamine synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine
from glutamate and NH4 + in an ATP-dependent reaction
The nitrogen of glutamine can be converted to urea in liver
by the action of glutaminase in liver
Hydrolytic release of the amide nitrogen of glutamine as
ammonia, catalyzed by glutaminase favors glutamate
formation.
28. GLUTAMATE AND GLUTAMINE RELATIONSHIP
The concerted action of glutamine synthase and glutaminase
thus catalyzes the interconversion of free ammonium ion and
glutamine
29. GLUCOSE ALANINE CYCLE AND ROLE OF GLUTAMATE
The transport of amino group of amino acids also takes place in the form of
Alanine.
Nitrogen is transported from muscle to the liver in two principal transport
forms.
Glutamate is formed by transamination reactions, but the nitrogen is then
transferred to pyruvate to form alanine, which is released into the
blood.
The liver takes up the alanine and converts it back into pyruvate by
transamination.
The pyruvate can be used for gluconeogenesis and the amino group
eventually appears as urea.
This transport is referred to as the alanine cycle.

32. AMMONIA INTOXICATION
The ammonia produced by enteric bacteria and absorbed
into portal venous blood and the ammonia produced by
tissues are rapidly removed from circulation by the liver
and converted to urea.
Thus, only traces (10–20 g/dL) normally are present in
peripheral blood.
This is essential, since ammonia is toxic to the central
nervous system.
Should portal blood bypass the liver, systemic blood
ammonia levels may rise to toxic levels.
This occurs in severely impaired hepatic function or the
development of collateral links between the portal and
systemic veins in cirrhosis.
33. AMMONIA INTOXICATION
Excess of ammonia depletes glutamate and hence GABA
level in brain
To compensate for glutamate, alpha keto glutarate is used ,
the decrease concentration of which subsequently
depresses TCA and thus deprives brain cells of energy.
Excess Glutamine is exchanged with Tryptophan , a
precursor of Serotonin , resulting in hyper excitation.
Symptoms of ammonia intoxication include tremor, slurred
speech, blurred vision, coma, and ultimately death.
35. UREA (ORNITHINE) CYCLE
detoxification pathway (NH3 is toxic for brain)
proceeds only in the liver
localized in mitochondria /cytoplasm
carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (= mitoch.)
can acidify an organism (consumes HCO3
-)
needs energy (3 ATP, but 4 energy rich bonds)
connected with citrate cycle through fumarate
urea is end product of –NH2 metabolism (→ urine)
