PPT-Amino Acids: Disposal of Nitrogen

UNIT IV Nitrogen Metabolism Part 3 C Transport of ammonia to the liver Two mechanisms are available in humans for the transport of ammonia from the peripheral tissues to the liver for its ultimate conversion to urea . 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:.

Figure 5: Comparison of the secondary amino group found in proline with the primary amino group found in other amino acids such as alanine.. 2. Proline: . Proline differs from other amino acids in that its side chain and amino N form a rigid, five -member red ring structure (Figure 5). Proline, then, has a secondary (rather than a primary) amino group. It is frequently referred to as an “. The general ways of amino acids degradation:. Transamination. Deamination. Decarboxylation. The major site of amino acid . degradation. . - the . liver. . .
