PPT-N utritionally Essential & Nutritionally Non Essential Amino Acids

Lecture 4 Dr Shaimaa Munther Nutritionally Essential amp Nutritionally Non Essential Amino Acids Introduction As applied to amino acids the terms essential and nonessential are misleading since all 20 common amino acids are essential to ensure health . What are amino acids?. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.. In the body, they exist as zwitterions.. Zwitterions can behave as both an acid or a base.. Today we will:. Study . the acid-base properties of amino acids, . C483 Spring 2013. Questions. 1. . Amino acids with non-. ionizable. side chains are zwitterions when they are ________.. A. ) in any solution . . D) in alkaline solutions only . B. ) at physiological pH, pH = 7.4 . (Foundation Block). Dr. Ahmed Mujamammi. Dr. . Sumbul. . Fatma. Learning outcomes. What are the amino acids?. General structure..

THE EXCRETION OF AMMONIUM IONS. A part of NH4+ that is formed in the degradation of amino acids is used for the biosynthesis of nitrogen compounds. In most of the land living vertebrates the excess NH4+ is converted in urea and in that form is excreted. In birds and reptiles it is converted into uric acid and in aquatic animals it is directly excreted as urea.. Debalina. . Mukhopadhyay. . . Containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen. .
