“Role of Copper in Biological Systems”
Presented To: Madam Nazish Arshad
Presented By: Iqra Zubair
Where is Copper found in body?
• The tissues of the body contain it in traces
• Highest amount is found in the brain and
liver.
• Adult body contains about 100mg.
• 95% is found in blood plasma firmly bounded
in a protein complex,Ceruloplasmin
• 5% loosely bound to another protein,
albumen.
Healthiest Sources of Copper
Food Cal Percentage
Sesame Seeds 206 163.3%
Cashews 221 97.7%
Soybeans 298 77.7%
Mushrooms 417 2.2%
Sunflower Seeds 204 70%
Tempeh 222 67.7%
Lentils 230 55.5%
Walnuts 196 53.3%
Lima Beans 216 48.8%
How much copper do we need?
Copper nutrition is especially important for
• Pregnant women
• Developing fetus
• New-born babies
• Recommended daily requirement is 1.2 mg
for adults
• 0.5–1 mg for children
Outlining Role of Copper
• Formation of the pigment melanin in the skin
• Helps in the transport of electrons
• Maintains the strength of the myelin sheath
covering the nerves
• Copper helps in the synthesis of phospholipids
• Necessary for the formation of hemoglobin in the
blood along with iron
• Constituent of enzymes involved in the oxidation
of fatty acids
• Necessary for the healthy hair
Enzymes Containing Copper
• Amine oxidases
• Ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase I)
• Cytochrome c oxidase
• Dopamine β-hydroxylase
• Hephaestin
• Lysyl oxidase
• Peptidylglycine alpha-amidating mono-oxygenase
(PAM)
• Superoxide dismutase(Cu, Zn)
• Tyrosinase
Bones and connective tissues
• Fix calcium in the
bones
• To build and repair all
connective tissue
• tendons, ligaments,
skin, hair, nails,
arteries, veins and a
few other tissues.
• Imbalances can
cause osteoporosis
and bone brittle
Energy production in cells
• Needed in the final steps of the Krebs energy
cycle called the electron transport system
• This is where most of our cellular energy is
produced
• Malfunctioning may cause fatigue,
depression and other imbalances related to
low energy.
Reproductive system
• Required for estrogen metabolism
• Required for women's fertility
• To maintain pregnancy
• Imbalance can cause premenstrual
syndrome, ovarian cysts, infertility,
miscarriages, sexual dysfunctions and more.
Nervous System
• Stimulates production of the
neurotransmitters like
epinephrine,norepinephrine and dopamine
• Required for monoamine oxidase, an
enzyme related to serotonin production
• Imbalances are highly associated with
memory loss, especially in young people,
depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia etc.
Antioxidant Protection
• Copper is a co-factor for an enzyme called
superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the major
antioxidant enzymes in the body. As a measure of
how important SOD is, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
also known as Lou Gehrig's disease is thought to be
the result of an under functioning (SOD) enzyme.
Regulation of gene expression
• Affect synthesis of
proteins by enhancing or
inhibiting the transcription
of specific genes
• Copper may regulate the
expression of genes by
increasing the level of
intracellular oxidative
stress
Cholesterol Balance
• Animal studies have demonstrated that copper-
deficient diets lead to increases in blood cholesterol
levels.
• The effect of copper deficiency appears to be through
increased activity of an enzyme called HMG-CoA
reductase
• The same enzyme targeted by the most commonly
prescribed cholesterol medications
Role in Glandular System
• The thyroid gland is sensitive to copper.
• Copper imbalance include hypothyroidism and even
hyperthyroidism of a particular type that is very common
• Grave’s disease usually due to stress, copper
imbalance and often mercury as well.
Copper Deficiency
Copper deficiency can cause
• Anemia
• Heart and circulation problems
• Bone abnormalities
• Complications in the nervous and immune systems
• Disorder in lungs
• Imbalance in thyroid
• Malfunctioning of Pancreas and kidney

Bioinorganic chemistry

  • 1. Bioinorganic Chemistry “Role of Copper in Biological Systems”
  • 2. Presented To: Madam Nazish Arshad Presented By: Iqra Zubair
  • 3. Where is Copper found in body? • The tissues of the body contain it in traces • Highest amount is found in the brain and liver. • Adult body contains about 100mg. • 95% is found in blood plasma firmly bounded in a protein complex,Ceruloplasmin • 5% loosely bound to another protein, albumen.
  • 4. Healthiest Sources of Copper Food Cal Percentage Sesame Seeds 206 163.3% Cashews 221 97.7% Soybeans 298 77.7% Mushrooms 417 2.2% Sunflower Seeds 204 70% Tempeh 222 67.7% Lentils 230 55.5% Walnuts 196 53.3% Lima Beans 216 48.8%
  • 5. How much copper do we need? Copper nutrition is especially important for • Pregnant women • Developing fetus • New-born babies • Recommended daily requirement is 1.2 mg for adults • 0.5–1 mg for children
  • 6. Outlining Role of Copper • Formation of the pigment melanin in the skin • Helps in the transport of electrons • Maintains the strength of the myelin sheath covering the nerves • Copper helps in the synthesis of phospholipids • Necessary for the formation of hemoglobin in the blood along with iron • Constituent of enzymes involved in the oxidation of fatty acids • Necessary for the healthy hair
  • 7. Enzymes Containing Copper • Amine oxidases • Ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase I) • Cytochrome c oxidase • Dopamine β-hydroxylase • Hephaestin • Lysyl oxidase • Peptidylglycine alpha-amidating mono-oxygenase (PAM) • Superoxide dismutase(Cu, Zn) • Tyrosinase
  • 8. Bones and connective tissues • Fix calcium in the bones • To build and repair all connective tissue • tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, nails, arteries, veins and a few other tissues. • Imbalances can cause osteoporosis and bone brittle
  • 9. Energy production in cells • Needed in the final steps of the Krebs energy cycle called the electron transport system • This is where most of our cellular energy is produced • Malfunctioning may cause fatigue, depression and other imbalances related to low energy.
  • 10. Reproductive system • Required for estrogen metabolism • Required for women's fertility • To maintain pregnancy • Imbalance can cause premenstrual syndrome, ovarian cysts, infertility, miscarriages, sexual dysfunctions and more.
  • 11. Nervous System • Stimulates production of the neurotransmitters like epinephrine,norepinephrine and dopamine • Required for monoamine oxidase, an enzyme related to serotonin production • Imbalances are highly associated with memory loss, especially in young people, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc.
  • 12. Antioxidant Protection • Copper is a co-factor for an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the major antioxidant enzymes in the body. As a measure of how important SOD is, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease is thought to be the result of an under functioning (SOD) enzyme.
  • 13. Regulation of gene expression • Affect synthesis of proteins by enhancing or inhibiting the transcription of specific genes • Copper may regulate the expression of genes by increasing the level of intracellular oxidative stress
  • 14. Cholesterol Balance • Animal studies have demonstrated that copper- deficient diets lead to increases in blood cholesterol levels. • The effect of copper deficiency appears to be through increased activity of an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase • The same enzyme targeted by the most commonly prescribed cholesterol medications
  • 15. Role in Glandular System • The thyroid gland is sensitive to copper. • Copper imbalance include hypothyroidism and even hyperthyroidism of a particular type that is very common • Grave’s disease usually due to stress, copper imbalance and often mercury as well.
  • 16. Copper Deficiency Copper deficiency can cause • Anemia • Heart and circulation problems • Bone abnormalities • Complications in the nervous and immune systems • Disorder in lungs • Imbalance in thyroid • Malfunctioning of Pancreas and kidney
