Proteins are broken down into amino acids which then undergo various metabolic fates including transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation. Transamination involves the transfer of amino groups between amino acids and keto acids using pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Deamination can be either oxidative, releasing ammonia with oxidation, or non-oxidative, releasing ammonia without oxidation. Decarboxylation removes a carboxyl group from an amino acid to form an amine. To detoxify ammonia produced from amino acid catabolism, the urea cycle operates in the liver to convert ammonia into urea for excretion in urine.

Metabolism of amino acid
Proteins are essential macromolecules that make up the structure and carry out functions in the body. They are composed of amino acids, which can be synthesized by the body or obtained through diet. Amino acids undergo catabolism through four main stages: transamination, oxidative deamination, ammonia transport, and the urea cycle. The urea cycle is crucial for detoxifying ammonia produced from amino acid catabolism and involves six enzymes that convert ammonia to urea in the liver for excretion. Defects in the urea cycle can cause hyperammonemia, which can be toxic to the brain if not addressed.

Protein metabolism
Protein is broken down into amino acids through digestion in the stomach and small intestine. Amino acids enter the bloodstream and are used to rebuild tissues or form new proteins. Excess amino acids are broken down through transamination and oxidative deamination, producing ammonia. The urea cycle converts ammonia into urea to be excreted in urine. Different organisms excrete nitrogenous waste in various forms like urea, uric acid or guanine depending on whether they live on land or water. Amino acids can also be synthesized de novo or through breakdown of other amino acids and protein.
Protein metabolism
Protein metabolism involves the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and their use and degradation throughout the body. Amino acids from food sources are broken down through digestion and absorbed. They are used for protein synthesis, forming hormones and other compounds, and undergo constant breakdown and renewal to replenish amino acid reserves. Excess amino acids have their nitrogen removed through transamination or oxidative deamination, producing ammonia. The liver plays a key role in nitrogen excretion by converting toxic ammonia into less toxic urea via the urea cycle, which is then excreted in urine.

Transdeamination, oxidative and non oxidative deamination, Ammonia transport, Ammonia intoxication, Ammonia detoxification
Catabolism of proteins and amino acids
1. Amino acids undergo oxidative degradation through normal protein synthesis and degradation, excess intake from high-protein diets, and during starvation when carbohydrates are unavailable.
2. Humans convert amino nitrogen to urea through a series of reactions known as the urea cycle. This cycle involves transamination, oxidative deamination of glutamate, ammonia transport, and the urea cycle reactions themselves.
3. The urea cycle converts ammonia, a byproduct of amino acid breakdown, to urea for excretion from the body. This process is vital to prevent toxic buildup of ammonia in tissues like the brain.
The proteins metabolism
The document summarizes protein metabolism and the urea cycle. It discusses that 1-2% of body proteins are degraded and renewed daily. Ammonia produced is highly toxic, so the liver converts it to urea. Glutamine synthase fixes ammonia as non-toxic glutamine and glutaminase releases it for urea synthesis. The urea cycle uses ammonia, CO2, and aspartate to synthesize urea using 5 enzymes in the liver. Rare metabolic disorders can cause urea synthesis blockage, increasing blood ammonia and risking intoxication and brain damage. Treatments include low-protein diets and frequent small meals to avoid sudden ammonia increases.

Protein metabolism, july'20
Protein metabolism is a complex process involving protein turnover, nitrogen balance, amino acid pools, and the interconversion and catabolism of amino acids. Protein turnover occurs as proteins are constantly degraded and resynthesized at a rate of 150-300g/day in adults. Nitrogen balance measures nitrogen intake versus losses and can be positive, negative, or in equilibrium. The amino acid pool contains free amino acids distributed throughout body fluids. Amino acids undergo transamination, where the amino group is transferred between amino acids and keto acids, and oxidative deamination, where the amino group is removed as ammonia. Ammonia is metabolized through the urea cycle in the liver to form urea for excretion, or
UREA CYCLE AND UREA CYCLE DISORDERS
The urea cycle is the metabolic pathway that transforms nitrogen to urea for excretion from the body. Liver cells play a critical role in disposing of nitrogenous waste by forming urea hrough the action of the urea cycle.
Nitrogenous excretory products are then removed from the body through in the urine.
The urea excreted each day by a healthy adult (about 30 g) accounts for about 90% of the nitrogenous excretory products.
The cycle occurs mainly in the liver.

Catabolism of Amino Acids.ppt degradation of aminoacids
The document discusses amino acid metabolism in mammals. It covers protein catabolism, which breaks down proteins into amino acids. Amino acids can then be used for biosynthesis of new proteins or undergo catabolism. During catabolism, the amino group is often removed through transamination or oxidative deamination, producing ammonia as a byproduct. The carbon skeleton is altered for entry into central carbon metabolism pathways. Transamination involves transferring the amino group between amino acids, while deamination produces ammonia. The liver plays a key role in processing excess amino groups through the urea cycle before excretion.

PROTEIN METABOLISM.pptx
The document summarizes key aspects of amino acid metabolism, including transamination and deamination. Transamination involves the transfer of amino groups between amino acids and keto acids, catalyzed by transaminases. Deamination results in the liberation of ammonia from amino acids for urea synthesis. Ammonia produced from amino acid breakdown is toxic, so mammals excrete it as urea via the urea cycle in the liver and kidneys. The urea cycle involves several enzymes that incorporate ammonia into urea to allow its excretion and prevent toxicity.
PM.pptx
Transamination is the transfer of amino groups between amino acids and alpha-keto acids, catalyzed by transaminases using pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. The liver is the main site of transamination, which makes amino groups available for disposal as ammonia. Ammonia is produced through deamination, either oxidative or non-oxidative, and is toxic, so the first line of defense is trapping it as glutamine for transport to the liver. In the liver, glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzes deamination of glutamate to ammonia and alpha-ketoglutarate. Finally, urea is formed and excreted to dispose of ammonia non-toxically.

1) Transamination is the transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to a ketoacid, catalyzed by transaminases and involving the cofactor PLP. This converts the amino acid to a keto acid.
2) Most amino acids then undergo oxidative deamination through a coupled reaction of transamination and oxidative deamination. This releases ammonia for urea synthesis.
3) Glutamate acts as a collection center for amino groups and undergoes oxidative deamination by glutamate dehydrogenase in the liver mitochondria to liberate ammonia.
Amino acid metabolism
Amino acid metabolism involves several key reactions: transamination, deamination, and the urea cycle. Transamination is the transfer of amino groups between amino acids via pyridoxal phosphate. Deamination removes amino groups via oxidative or non-oxidative pathways, producing ammonia. The liver's urea cycle converts ammonia into urea for excretion to detoxify ammonia. Disorders of the urea cycle can cause high ammonia levels and neurological issues if not treated. Amino acids undergo breakdown and synthesis to form proteins, peptides, and other nitrogenous compounds essential for cellular metabolism and function.
Amino acid metabolism
Amino acid metabolism involves several key reactions: transamination, deamination, and the urea cycle. Transamination involves transferring amino groups between amino acids and keto acids with pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Deamination removes amino groups via oxidative or non-oxidative pathways, producing ammonia. The liver's urea cycle incorporates ammonia into urea for excretion to detoxify high levels. Disorders can occur if urea cycle enzymes are deficient, causing hyperammonemia. Blood urea levels provide clinical information about liver and kidney function.
protein metabolism.pdf
The document summarizes protein digestion and absorption. Dietary proteins are broken down into amino acids by proteolytic enzymes in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. These enzymes include pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and aminopeptidases. The amino acids are then absorbed across the small intestine and transported through the bloodstream to body tissues, where they are used to build new proteins or oxidized for energy if in excess. Defects in amino acid transporters can cause genetic disorders associated with metabolism.

1) Nitrogen enters the body through dietary protein and is metabolized through amino acids. Amino acids are broken down and the nitrogen is removed as ammonia, which is converted to urea to be excreted.
2) The amino acid pool and protein turnover are key concepts in nitrogen metabolism. Amino acids from protein breakdown replenish the amino acid pool, which is also used for protein synthesis and other processes.
3) Dietary proteins are digested by enzymes in the stomach and pancreas into dipeptides and tripeptides, then fully into amino acids by intestinal enzymes for absorption.
Urea cycle.. lgis
The document summarizes the urea cycle and protein catabolism. It discusses:
1) Proteins are constantly degraded and resynthesized to remove damaged, unneeded, defective, or old proteins.
2) Amino acids have varying half-lives, and some residues are more stabilizing while others are destabilizing.
3) Amino acids are oxidized or reused. Ammonia produced from amino acid catabolism must be eliminated as it is toxic, especially to the central nervous system.
4) The urea cycle in the liver involves several steps to convert ammonia to less toxic urea for excretion, including transamination to shuttle amino groups to glutamate
Metabolism protein
1) Proteins in the diet are broken down into smaller peptides and individual amino acids through digestion by proteolytic enzymes in the stomach, pancreas, and intestines.
2) In the liver, amino acids are broken down through transamination and transdeamination reactions to produce ammonia, which is highly toxic.
3) Ammonia is detoxified in the liver through the urea cycle into urea, which is excreted in the urine. Deficiencies in urea cycle enzymes can cause a toxic buildup of ammonia in the blood.

The Pathways of Amino Acid Metabolism.pptx
The document discusses amino acid metabolism, which refers to the biochemical processes that break down and synthesize amino acids in the body. It outlines several key pathways of amino acid metabolism including transamination, deamination, the urea cycle, and gluconeogenesis. These pathways are interconnected and work together to maintain amino acid balance, produce energy, and support various cellular functions and biochemical reactions. Defects in amino acid metabolism can cause health issues.
UREA CYCLE
The document summarizes the metabolism of proteins and amino acids, focusing on the urea cycle. It describes how amino acids are broken down to remove nitrogen, producing ammonia. Ammonia is highly toxic, so the liver uses the urea cycle to convert ammonia to urea for excretion. The urea cycle involves 5 enzymatic reactions that occur in the liver mitochondria and cytosol. Defects in urea cycle enzymes can cause hyperammonemia, which can be fatal if not treated.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Amino acid metabolism and uea cycle converted
- 2. SUBMITTED BY, BHAGYARAJ.G I MSC ZOOLOGY ST: STEPHEN’S COLLEGE PATHANAPURAM AMINO ACID METABOLISM & UREA CYCLE
- 3. WHAT IS BIOCHEMISTRY ?
- 5. PROTEINS ❑Proteins are the most abundant organic compounds that constitute a major part of the body dry weight (10-12kg). ❑Our body gets sufficient amount of proteins from food sources such as fishes, milk , egg , mixed nuts etc . ❑Protein metabolism is more appropriately learnt as amino acid metabolism. ❑Each of the 20 amino acids undergoes its own metabolism and perform specific functions.
- 8. OVER VIEW OF AMINO ACID SYNTHESIS
- 9. TRANSAMINATION ❑The transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid is known as tansamination. ❑The energy (keto acid) that we get from transamination is has various fates. ❑ Utilised to generate energy . ❑ Used for the synthesis of glucose. ❑ For the formation of ketone bodies. ❑ For the production of non-essential amino acids.
- 11. ❑ All transaminases require pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), a co enzyme which is derived from vitamin B6 ❑Here the transfer of amino group from Alanine is trasferred to the co enzyme pyridoxal phosphate to form pyridoxamine phosphate. ❑The amino group of pyridoxamine phosphate is then transferred to the keto acid (alpha keto glutarate) to produce a new amino acid (Glutamate) and the ezyme pyrodoxal phosphate (PLP) is regenerated. ❑The transamination process is reversible. ❑There is no free ammonia (NH3) is liberated,only the transfer of amino group occurs.
- 12. DEAMINATION OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION NON OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION The removal of amino group from the amino acid is called deamination. It is of two types:
- 13. OXIDATIVE DEAMINATION ❑Oxidative deamination is the liberation of free ammonia from the amino group of amino acids coupled with oxidation.
- 14. NONOXIDATIVE DEAMINATION ❑Non-oxidative deamination is the liberation of free ammonia from the amino group of amino acids without oxidation.
- 15. DE CARBOXYLATION ❑De carboxylation is the removal of CO2 from the carboxyl group of amino acid and converts it to corresponding amine. ❑It requires the enzyme decarboxylase, which is present in liver,microorganisms of intestinal tract etc. ❑Pyridoxal phosphate acts as a co-enzyme here.
- 16. UREA - CYCLE ❑Ammonia which is synthesised during amino acid metabolism is higly toxic. This toxic susbstance is converted to non toxic urea and excreted from our body through urine. ❑This can be explained through Urea-cycle which was elucidated by Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit, hence it is also called Krebs-Henseleit cycle. ❑The cycle takes place in mitochondria and cytoplasm of the cell.
