Metabolism proceeds in discrete steps through enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Pathways can be organized as closed loops where intermediates are recycled, linear chains where products become substrates for subsequent reactions, or spirals where the same set of enzymes are repeatedly used. Enzyme regulation maintains metabolic flux through mechanisms like forming multi-enzyme complexes or feedforward activation that controls the rate of reactions.

AJimenez PhD thesis abstract
The document is a thesis abstract that describes Methyltransferases (MTases) for protein labelling and immobilisation. It discusses how MTases have been used with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) analogues to transfer functional groups to proteins. The project aimed to develop an orthogonal system using a modified SAM analogue and MTase to selectively transfer functional chains to proteins with a specific motif. Results showed that a SAM analogue, 3’-deoxy-S-adenosyl-L-methionine (3’dSAM), efficiently mono-methylated a peptide substrate and a mutant MTase exhibited higher activity with this analogue than the wild type.

Peoxisomes in skin health&disease by prof m.y.abdel mawla
Peroxisomes are intracellular organelles that contain enzymes involved in important metabolic processes like lipid metabolism. They produce hydrogen peroxide and affect cell signaling and proliferation. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that regulate peroxisome functions and modulate gene transcription. PPARs are expressed in skin cells and tissues and play roles in epidermal differentiation, inflammation, wound healing, sebum production, and disorders like psoriasis. Activation of PPARs has effects on conditions and diseases through regulation of metabolic and immune pathways.
Molecular chaperones
This document discusses different types of chaperone proteins. It begins by explaining that chaperones assist other proteins in folding correctly by interacting with unfolded or misfolded proteins. The main types discussed are molecular chaperones like Hsp70 and Hsp90, and chaperonins. Hsp70 binds to hydrophobic regions of unfolded proteins to prevent aggregation, while Hsp90 helps activate client proteins. Chaperonins form folding chambers and there are two groups - group 1 found in prokaryotes and organelles, and group 2 in eukaryotes and archaea. Specific examples of chaperone homologs in different organisms are also provided.
Post trans mod-and_protein sorting
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are key mechanisms that increase proteomic diversity and regulate cellular activity. PTMs such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination occur through the addition of functional groups to specific amino acids on a protein by enzymes. These modifications can regulate protein activity, stability, localization, and degradation. Proteins are targeted to different intracellular compartments through sorting signals and transport mechanisms like gated transport, transmembrane transport, and vesicular transport.
Chaperones
Chaperones are a functionally related group of proteins that assist the covalent folding or unfolding and the assembly or disassembly of other macromolecular structures.
Translation & Post Translational Modifications
The document discusses translation and post-translational modifications. It begins by describing the central dogma and differences between RNA and DNA. It then discusses the types of RNA (mRNA, rRNA, tRNA), RNA processing in eukaryotes, tRNA structure, the process of translation including initiation, elongation, and termination, and post-translational modifications including different types like phosphorylation and glycosylation. It also discusses protein synthesis inhibitors, chemical modifications of proteins, and diseases related to post-translational modifications.
Chaperones
Molecular chaperones are proteins that assist in the folding, unfolding, assembly and disassembly of other macromolecules without being part of the final structure. They are found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and help prevent protein aggregation. Newly synthesized proteins are at risk of misfolding but chaperones like trigger factor protect exposed residues and promote proper folding. Chaperones also repair misfolded proteins and can even disaggregate fully aggregated proteins using a bichaperone system to refold proteins.
Molecular chaperones
Molecular chaperones such as Hsp70 and chaperonins assist in the folding of other proteins in the cell. Hsp70 binds to unfolded regions of proteins and prevents aggregation, then Hsp40 triggers a change in Hsp70 that traps the protein. Chaperonins form a cavity in which folding can occur. These chaperones are important for protein folding but do not actively promote folding. When proteins misfold it can lead to human diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

The first observations of molecular chaperones date back to the 1970s but their function was not fully understood until the 1980s and 1990s when it was discovered that they play a key role in protein folding and homeostasis. Molecular chaperones are found in all compartments of the cell where protein folding occurs and help protect proteins from misfolding, especially under stressful conditions.
Power point ed 205
The document summarizes key concepts about DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. It describes DNA and the two types of RNA: mRNA and tRNA. It then outlines the three main processes of protein synthesis: replication, transcription, and translation. Replication makes copies of DNA during cell division. Transcription creates mRNA from DNA in the nucleus. Translation then uses the mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins at the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
Post translational modifications
1. Post-translational modifications are chemical changes that occur to proteins after translation from mRNA and are important for generating protein diversity and directing proteins to specific cellular functions and locations.
2. Common post-translational modifications include phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, and glycosylation, which involve adding chemical groups like phosphates, acetyl groups, or carbohydrates to proteins.
3. These modifications are catalyzed by specific enzymes and can regulate protein activity, localization, stability, and interactions by changing their structure, charge, or ability to bind other molecules. They play important roles in many biological processes.
Chaperone and protein folding
This document discusses protein folding and the role of chaperone proteins. It notes that heat shock proteins are a highly conserved group of proteins found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells that are involved in many cellular processes. These heat shock proteins are classified by molecular weight and include Hsp70, Hsp90, Hsp60 and small heat shock proteins. The document outlines several important chaperone systems in protein folding, including Hsp70 with its co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE, and the chaperonin systems of GroEL/GroES and TRiC. It describes the three stages that chaperones use to fold proteins: preventing aggregation, releasing proteins for
Post translational modifications
This document provides an overview of post-translational events. It discusses various post-translational modifications including protein folding, proteolytic cleavage, and chemical modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, lipidation, and ubiquitination. These modifications influence the structure, stability, activity, and interactions of proteins and play an important role in cellular functions and signaling pathways. The document also examines specific post-translational modifications in depth, including the processes of protein folding, proteolytic cleavage, and various chemical modifications of proteins.
The World of Nonribosomal Peptides
Nonribosomal peptides are synthesized by large enzyme complexes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) independently of ribosomes. NRPS contain modules with domains that activate amino acids, load them onto carrier proteins, and catalyze peptide bond formation to assemble the peptide. The peptide can undergo further modifications by tailoring domains and may be cyclized by thioesterase domains. NRPS synthesize peptides with diverse structures and biological activities including antibiotics, siderophores, and immunosuppressants.
Protein Structure, Post Translational Modifications and Protein Folding
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are covalent processing events that change the properties of a protein by proteolytic cleavage or by addition of a modifying group to one or more amino acids.
Protein post-translational modification (PTM) plays an essential role in various cellular processes that modulates the physical and chemical properties, folding, conformation, stability and activity of proteins, thereby modifying the functions of proteins
Heat shock proteins presentation
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved proteins found in all organisms that help proteins properly fold and prevent protein aggregation. HSPs are produced when cells experience stress like heat, cold, radiation, or toxins. Ritossa discovered HSPs in fruit flies in 1960. There are several classes of HSPs classified by molecular weight that assist protein folding through different mechanisms. Misfolded proteins are targeted for degradation by ubiquitination and the proteasome to maintain protein quality control, but HSPs can also help refold proteins to prevent this outcome. HSPs play an essential role in protein homeostasis.
Molecular chaperones
This document provides an overview of molecular chaperones. It defines chaperones as proteins that assist in protein folding but are not part of the final structure. Chaperones exist in all cellular compartments and help prevent protein misfolding and aggregation. They are classified as intra-molecular or inter-molecular. The best characterized system is the GroEL/GroES complex which uses ATP to encapsulate proteins and facilitate folding. Chaperones have implications for developing treatments for diseases like cancers and lysosomal storage disorders.

Lipid profile
This document provides information about lipid profiles and their normal ranges. It discusses how to collect and process blood specimens for lipid profiles. It then defines the components of a lipid profile including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and VLDL cholesterol. For each component, it provides the normal ranges and clinical significance of abnormal levels. It also briefly discusses apolipoprotein B, phospholipids, chylomicrons, and factors that can increase or decrease their levels.
Introduction of biochemistry
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are the four major macromolecules that make up living things. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches and are used for energy storage. Lipids are composed of fatty acids and glycerol and function in energy storage, protection, and insulation. Proteins contain amino acids and perform a variety of functions including growth, energy production, and pH buffering. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA contain nucleotides and store and transmit genetic information that directs cellular functions. These macromolecules are formed through dehydration synthesis and broken down through hydrolysis.
BIOCHEMISTRY OF LIPIDS
Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins. They serve important functions like storing energy, signaling, and as structural components of cell membranes. The document defines lipids and discusses their chemistry, classifications, structures, and biological importance. Key points covered include that lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and include triglycerides, fatty acids, and other compounds.
ECOSANOIDS
Eicosanoids are oxygenation products of arachidonic acid (AA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in animal and plant cell membranes. AA is released from membranes by phospholipase A2 and metabolized via either the cyclooxygenase pathway to form prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxanes, or the lipoxygenase pathway to form leukotrienes. These eicosanoids are involved in various physiological functions including inflammation, smooth muscle tone, blood coagulation, reproduction, and GI secretion. Clinical applications of prostaglandins include female and male reproductive health, inflammation and immunity, gastrointestinal, respiratory, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, ocular health, and cancer.
ROS ANTIOXIDENTS
Aerobic organisms continuously produce reactive free radicals through respiration, metabolism and phagocytosis. Approximately 1-2% of oxygen consumed is converted into superoxide radicals by the respiratory chain, one of the main sources of free radicals in cells. While oxygen is necessary for life, its partial reduction can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage living systems. The body has multiple antioxidant defenses to combat ROS, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and vitamin C, which help convert ROS into less reactive species and protect biomolecules from oxidative damage.
LIPID CHEMISTRY
Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins. They serve important functions like energy storage, signaling, and as structural components of cell membranes. The main classes of lipids are neutral fats/triglycerides (consisting of glycerol and fatty acids), phospholipids, and sterols. Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 are essential nutrients. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and are an important energy source in animals and plants.
Carcinogen
This document discusses carcinogens and cancer. It defines cancer as abnormal cell growth that can invade other tissues and spread to other parts of the body. Carcinogens are substances that can cause cancer. Chemical carcinogens include aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic amines, and chemicals containing epoxide, organohalogen, and nitroso groups. Carcinogens can damage DNA directly or require metabolic activation. Factors that influence cancer development include dose of exposure, lifestyle factors like smoking, and inherited conditions. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, hygiene practices, and proper waste disposal can reduce exposure to carcinogens.
Infectious diseases
This document discusses the importance of breastfeeding for infant health and development. It reviews several studies that show breastfeeding reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality from various infectious diseases like diarrhea, otitis media, neonatal sepsis, and respiratory infections. However, in many societies false beliefs interfere with breastfeeding and infants are commonly given prelacteal feeds or mixed feeding instead of being exclusively breastfed. The purpose of the study described is to examine the patterns of infectious diseases in non-breastfed infants compared to breastfed infants admitted to the hospital.
Differences of plasma osmolarity
This document describes a study comparing plasma osmolarity in healthy breastfed and non-breastfed infants. The study included breastfed and non-breastfed infants between 1-6 months of age. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for various biomarkers including glucose, BUN, sodium, potassium, total protein, and albumin levels. Plasma osmolarity was then directly estimated and calculated based on biomarker levels. Results showed breastfed infants had significantly lower glucose, BUN, and plasma osmolarity levels compared to non-breastfed infants. The study concluded breastfeeding provides a lower solute load compared to formula feeding, resulting in lower plasma osmolarity in healthy breastfed infants.
Introdction of metabolism
1. Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that take place in living organisms to sustain life. It includes breaking down nutrients into smaller units and building up complex molecules.
2. Glucose, fats, and proteins are broken down through various pathways to ultimately form acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to generate energy in the form of ATP. Less oxygen results in lactic acid formation from glucose.
3. The electron transport chain uses oxygen to convert products of the citric acid cycle into large amounts of ATP, the main energy currency of cells. Fatty acids yield more ATP than glucose due to their carbon-hydrogen bonds.

GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST
A glucose tolerance test (GTT) checks how the body metabolizes blood sugar levels over time. There are two main types: an oral GTT where glucose is ingested, and an intravenous GTT where glucose is injected. It is commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes, especially in obese, pregnant, or high-risk individuals. The test involves fasting overnight, then drinking a glucose solution and having blood drawn over 3 hours to analyze the body's insulin response and how quickly glucose is cleared from the blood. Results are interpreted according to WHO criteria, with different glucose level thresholds indicating normal, prediabetes, or diabetes status.
Conference proceedings
This document summarizes a study that compares the performance of two state observers - a sliding mode observer with super-twisting algorithm (STSMO) and a high gain observer (HGO) - for estimating unmeasured states of a quadrotor UAV. The paper designs each observer and then applies a second order sliding mode control technique using the estimated states to control the quadrotor. Simulations show the performance of each observer under the same control scheme and perturbations. The study aims to compare the observers' characteristics for state estimation of the quadrotor system to determine the best observer for real-time applications given system uncertainties and noise.
social media useage
This study examined the usage of social media by students at the FJMU Lahore. A questionnaire was distributed to 415 students to gather data on their social media usage patterns and behaviors. The results found that 95.9% of students used social media daily, with 77% spending 1-2 hours per day on social media. Major purposes of usage were communication (94%) and entertainment (93%), though 46% also used it for studying. Students reported social media could waste time and distract from studies, but could also be useful for sharing medical videos, knowledge and study guidelines. The study concludes social media distracts students and encourages more non-educational activities, so students should utilize it more for academic purposes and limit entertainment usage
