2 DATE :22/9/2016 *What is Amino Acid (a.a)? compound that contains both an amino group(-nh2) and a carboxyl group (- cooh) *composed of 1-alpha-carbon with hydrogen atom 2-alpha-amino group 3-alpha-carboxyl group 4-R-group * R-grouphydrated(H) (glycine) any other group *what is alpha amino acid? When the amino group attached to alpha-carbon *A.A can be written in zwitter form or simple form *what is the zwitter form? A molecule with both positive & negative charge *all protein (drived from A.A) are chiral and have at least one asymmetric chiral carbon except glycine is achiral Chiral asymmetrichave 4 different groups or atoms *if the R-group is H it is achiral NH3+(amino group +ve) a.a has 2 forms : 1-ionized coo- (carboxyl ve) zwitterion (a.a are more properly written in this form) 2-unionized (commonly written in this form) *alpha carbon in the center of a.a and chiral carbon *chiral A.A have 2 stereoisomers *Enantiomers : a stereoisomers that have mirror image *Enantiomers have *L-formmajority of A.A *D-form what is the natural form of stereoisomers (fischer projection formulas) for alanine L glyceraldehyde D * mostly cases D amino acids are toxic *D-form found and occur in antibiotics and bacterial cell walls (no D-form in human body) min 6.00 a.a (Alanine) (related to a.a position) L-form amino group on Left side D-form amino group on the right side

They are formed as necessary intermediates in a variety of normal biochemical reactions, but when generated in excess or not appropriately controlled, radicals can wreak havoc on a broad range of macromolecules. A prominent feature of radicals is that they have extremely high chemical reactivity, which explains not only their normal biological activities, but how they inflict damage on cells بنتتج بسبب العمليات الحيويه ي ف الخليه وبتتجمع ع ال cell wall و ي ه ال ي ل بتخ ي ل الخاليا يتقدنوا بالعمر وهيك مع الزمن تجمعها بخ ي ل الخليه تتقدم ي ف العمر مما يقودها للموت *phospholiration in electron transport system *glutathione transfer free radicals into water + oxygen molecule *free oxygen (in cell membrane)accumulationcell death **Enkephalinsnatural pain killer found in brain(leucine & methionine enkphalins) Oxytocin vs Vasopressin(ADH) *hormones *cyclic nanopeptide oxytocinisoleucine(at position 3) + leucine (at position 8) stimulate smooth muscle in the mammary gland during lactation vasopressinphenylalanin(3) + arginine (8)
