Removal of nitrogen atoms & fate of carbon atoms
3 important questions on Removal of nitrogen atoms & fate of carbon atoms
What group is first to remove from protein ?
Amino group (NH2)
How does deamination happens in the body?
convert excess amino acids into
convert amino group to Ammonia (toxic)-> urea (non-toxic)
- CO2 + H2O
- Glucose
- Acetyl CoA
- ketone bodies
convert amino group to Ammonia (toxic)-> urea (non-toxic)
How citric acid cycle / kerbs cycle work?
- Takes in acetyl CoA as starting material
- have a series of redox reactions -> harvest the bond energy (NADH, FADH2 and ATP molecules)
- reduced NADH, FADH2 pass electrons to the electron transport chain through oxidative phosphorylation
- generate most of the ATP
