Protein metabolism is more appropriately learnt as metabolism of Amino acid. The proteins on degradation(proteolysis) release individual amino acids. The amount of free amino acids distributed throught the body is called Amino acid pool. The amino acids undergo certain common reactions like transamination followed by deamination for the liberation of ammonia. The amino group of amino acids utilized for the formation of urea, which is the end product of protein metabolism
This presentation includes Biochemistry of protein metabolism.
It deals with Digestion & absorption of protein, transamination, deamination, Nitrogen Metabolism & Meatbolism of Glycine, Aromatic Amino acids, Sulphur containing Amino acid, one carbon metabolism. it also includes cases and questions for self study.
Protein metabolism denotes the various biochemical processes responsible for the synthesis of proteins and amino acids (anabolism), and the breakdown of proteins by catabolism. ... In humans, non-essential amino acids are synthesized from intermediates in major metabolic pathways such as the Citric Acid Cycle.
Fate of Glucogenic and Ketogenic amino acid
Amino acid are the currency of of nitrogen and protein economy of the host, hence they are used in many pathways beyond protein synthesis, including energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis.
All amino acid are comprised of an amino group and a carbon skeleton. During metabolism these two parts are separated as they have different ‘fates’
Of the liberated amino acid approximately 75% are utilized while remainder serve as precursors for important biological compound and those not utilized are degraded to amphibolic intermediates
The pathway of amino acid catabolism is quite similar in most organism

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

1. DIGESTION OF PROTEIN ,
ABSORPTION OF AMINO ACIDS &
GENERAL REACTIONS OF AMINO
ACIDS
Department of Biochemistry.
2. DIGESTION OF PROTEIN
Digestion: It is the process to convert complex
compounds from our diet into simpler compounds
which can be easily taken up by our GIT cells.
Zymogens: Proteolytic enzymes are secreted in the
form of inactive enzymes which are converted to
their active form in our GIT lumen.
This prevents autodigestion of secretory glands.
3. TYPES OF PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES
Endopeptidases:
Act on peptide bonds inside protein
molecule to convert it into smaller
fragments.
E.g. Pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin,
elastase.
Exopeptidases:
Acts on ends of peptide chain, not
inside.
Carboxypeptidase: act on C terminal.
Aminopeptidase: act on N terminal.
Dipeptidase
tripeptidase
4. DIGESTION IN STOMACH
Hydrochloric acid (HCl):
Denatures protein
Activates Pepsinogen Pepsin.
Make pH optimum for action of pepsin. (pH~2)
Rennin:
Active in infants & absent in adults
Causes curdling of milk
Casein paracasein. Which is further digested by
pepsin & other enzymes.
5. Pepsin:
Secreted by chief cell as inactive pepsinogen.
HCl removes N terminal 44 AAs & convert
pepsinogen (inactive) Pepsin (Active)
It hydrolyze the bond formed by carboxy groups
of Phe, Tyr, Trp & Met (aromatic AA) & convert
protein Proteoses & peptones.
6. DIGESTION BY PANCREATIC ENZYMES
Optimum pH of pancreatic enzyme is 8 which is
provided by alkaline bile & pancreatic juice.
Cholecystokinin & Pancreozymin hormones
stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice.
Enzymes are secreted as zymogen (inactive form) to
protect gland from autodigestion.
7. Trypsin: (SERINE PROTEASE)
Trypsinogen Trypsin by enterokinase present
of intestinal microvillus membranes.
Activation needs removal of hexapeptide from N
terminal end.
Trypsin can autoactivate other trypsinogen & can
activate other zymogens.
Trypsin hydrolyses bonds formed by carboxyl
groups of Arg & Lys (basic AA).
Acute pancreatitis:
8. Chymotrypsinogen Chymotrypsin by Trypsin. (SERINE
PROTEASE)
Proelastase Elastase by Trypsin. (SERINE PROTEASE)
Procarboxypeptidase Carboxypeptidase by Trypsin.
Required metal ions : Zn
Intestinal digestion
Enzymes present on intestinal juice (Succus entericus) leads
to complete digestion of small peptides into amino acids.
Dipeptidases and tripeptidases
aminopeptidase
9. ABSORPTION OF AMINO ACIDS.
Site: Upper small intestine (Duodenum & Proximal
Jejunum)
3 different mechanisms:
1. Sodium dependent secondary active transport
2. Sodium independent facilitated transport
3. Meister cycle
After absorption they are transported via portal
blood to liver.
11. SODIUM DEPENDENT SECONDARY ACTIVE
TRANSPORT:
5 different transporter system for different groups
of amino acids:
1. Neutral AAs: Ala, Val, Leu, Met, Phe, Tyr, Ile.
Trp & Ala show competitive inhibition.
2. Basic AAs: COAL system Cys, Ornithine, Arg,
Lys.
3. Acidic AAs: Glu, Asp
4. Imino acids and glycine: Proline, Hydroxyproline,
Glycine.
5. Beta AAs: Beta alanine.
14. DISORDERS OF DIGESTION & ABSORPTION
OF PROTEIN
Disease of pancreas: Acute or chronic pancreatitis,
cystic fibrosis.
Small intestinal diseases:
Genetic disorders:
1. Hartnup disease: Defective transport of neutral
AAs (Trp) at PCT of kidney & jejunum symptoms
of pellagra (Diarrhoea, Dementia, Dermatitis)
2. Glycinuria: Defect in Pro/Gly transporter at PCT &
intestine loss of Gly/Pro in urine.
3. Cystinuria: Defect in COAL system cystine renal
stones.
16. AMINO ACIDS
Amino derivative of carboxylic acid
Central α carbon with four groups attached to it:
I. Carboxyl group
II. Amino group
III. Hydrogen atom
IV. Unique side chain.
Total 20 amino acids:
But 21st & 22nd amino acids
are also found.
17. REACTIONS DUE TO CARBOXYL GROUP
Decarboxylation: removal of CO2 &
formation of corresponding
amine.
Histidine Histamine
Tyrosine Tyramine
Tryptophan Tryptamine
Lysine Cadaverine
Glutamic acid GABA
18. REACTION DUE TO AMINO GROUP
Transamination: α amino
group transferred to α keto
acid resulting in formation of
corresponding new amino
acid & α keto acid.
Occur in cytosol
α keto glutarate/Glutamate
generally act as amino
group acceptor/donor.
19. PURPOSE OF
TRANSAMINATION
Removal & detoxification of
ammonia
Gluconeogenesis from amino
acids
Biosynthesis of non essential
amino acids.
20. Oxidative deamination: α amino group is removed &
corresponding α keto acid & ammonia is formed.
For metabolism of amino acid & production of
ammonia for urea conversion.
21. L- amino acid oxidase
L-amino acid + FMN α keto acid + NH3
+ FMNH2
Significance:
Oxidative deamination is involved in metabolism of
amino acid & production of ammonia.
22. Non oxidative deamination: Ammonia is released from
AA without oxidation.
Cysteine Pyruvate + NH3 + H2S (Cys desulfhydrase)
Serine Pyruvate + NH3 (Serine dehydratase)
Threonine α ketobutyrate + NH3 (Thr dehydratase)
Histidine Urocanate + NH3 (Histidase)
Significance: Metabolism of amino acid & Production of
ammonia
26. Significance:
Cysteine is formed from Methionine therefore
cysteine is non-esseatial amino acid
Inherited defect of enzymes of trans-sulfuration
leads to Homocystinuria and/or cystathionuria.
27. SOURCES OF AMMONIA
Transamination followed by oxidative deamination:
Ala/Asp + α KG Pyruvate/Oxaloacetate + Glu
Glu + NAD+ α KG + NH3 + NADH + H+
Direct oxidative deamination:
L-Amino acid + FMN α-Keto acid + NH3 + FMNH2
Non oxidative deamination:
Ser/Thr dehydratase, Cys desulfhydrase, Histidase
Non amino acid sources:
Degradation of urea by bacteria in intestinal lumen,
degradation of purine/pyrimidine nucleotides &
biogenic amines.
28. TRANSPORT OF AMMONIA
3 forms: Glutamine, Glutamate, Ammonia,alanine
Glutamine (Gln): from brain & intestine to liver
Glu + NH3 + ATP Gln + ADP + Pi (Gln synthetase)
Intracellular ammonia is immediately converted
to Gln to reduce toxicity & transport to liver for
final disposal
Glutamate (Glu): Through transamination, NH3 is
donated to α KG to form Glu. Glu is transported to
liver for final disposal.
Free ammonia: Normal level - 15-60 μmol/l. Excess
of free ammonia is toxic to cells especially neurons.
29. Muscle : mainly release ammonia as alanine to liver
Brain : mainly release ammonia as glutamine to liver
Intestine : mainly release ammonia as alanine to
liver
Kidney : mainly release ammonia as alanine to liver
and NH4+ as in urine for buffer
30. FATE OF AMMONIA
Major fate of ammonia is conversion to UREA.
Other fate:
Formation of Glutamine/Asparagine
Formation of Glycine
Formation of nitrogenous compound like purine ,
pyrimidine
31. SUMMARY
