PPT-Amino acids Prof. Mamoun Ahram

Nursing First semester 2021 General structure Proteins are polymers of αamino acids or amino acids An amino acid consists of a central carbon atom called the carbon linked to four groups. 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:.

Removal of α-amino groups. . Breakdown of the resulting carbon skeletons.. The resulting compounds will be used to form seven intermediate products: . Peptide bond formation. : . α-carboxyl group of one amino acid (with side chain R1) forms a covalent peptide bond with α-amino group of another amino acid . ( . with the side chain R2) by removal of a molecule of water. The result is : Dipeptide ( i.e. Two amino acids linked by one peptide bond). By the same way, the dipeptide can then forms a second peptide bond with a third amino acid (with side chain R3) to give . backbone.  . atoms .
