Amino Acids
2013, Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics (Second Edition)
By S. Maloy

Introduction
Amino acids are a class of important biomolecules that contain both amino groups and carboxylate groups (–COO−). In most contexts, the term ‘amino acids’ refers to the α-amino acids, so-called because both the amino and carboxyl groups are attached to the α-carbon. However, other types of amino acids are encountered in nature, such as the β-amino acids, in which the amino and carboxyl groups are attached to different carbons in the backbone.

All α-amino acids (with the exception of glycine) have four different substituents attached to the α-carbon and are therefore chiral molecules. Chirality, also called handedness, is a special subset of asymmetry describing objects that have no internal plane of symmetry and are not superimposable upon their own mirror image. Almost all of the amino acids found in nature have the same chirality with respect to the α-carbon and are referred to as l-amino acids based on chemical nomenclature guidelines. Their rare, stereoisomer, mirror-image counterparts are called d-amino acids. Just as your right hand will not fit properly into a left-hand glove, a d-amino acid will not fit properly in a space that fits an l-amino acid.

Although hundreds of amino acids have been identified or synthesized, 20 of these are often designated the common amino acids. In biological systems, these amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Under the direction of messenger RNA during protein synthesis, the amino and carboxyl side chains of two amino acids are condensed chemically on the ribosome, which acts as an amino acid polymerase. This reaction releases water and is called peptide bond. Chains of amino acids linked in this manner are thus called polypeptides or, more simply, proteins.

Introduction
Proteins are made up of 20 amino acids. Each amino acid has an α-carboxyl group, a primary α-amino group, and a side chain called the R group (Amino Acid Generic Structure). Unlike other amino acids, proline has a secondary amino group. The side chain varies from 1 amino acid to the other. Nutritionally, amino acids are divided into 3 groups—essential, nonessential, and semi-essential. Semi-essential amino acids are synthesized by the body but are designated essential during periods of stress.

Nine amino acids, including histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine, are classified as essential amino acids because they cannot be synthesized by human or other mammalian cells. Therefore, these amino acids must be supplied from an exogenous diet. The body synthesizes non-essential amino acids not primarily derived from the diet. Semi-essential amino acids are growth-promoting amino acids. They are essential in growing children, pregnant women, and lactating women. Amino acids are further classified into 3 groups depending on the structure of the R-group—neutral, acidic, and basic. In addition to serving as the building block of proteins and peptides, amino acids play crucial roles in various important functions.

Some amino acids are converted to carbohydrates and are called glucogenic amino acids. Certain amino acids give rise to specialized products. For example, tyrosine can be converted to hormones, such as thyroid hormones, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and melanin.
Methionine, in its active form known as S-adenosylmethionine, plays a critical role in cellular processes by transferring the methyl group to various substances through a process called transmethylation. Cystine and methionine are the primary sources of sulfur.

Determining amino acid requirements in humans

Introduction
In the human body, protein is the chief functional and structural constituent in every cell. During development, dietary protein is necessary for growth plus maintenance and for maintenance alone during all other stages of life. The most important nutritional aspect of dietary protein are the consituent amino acids. Among the 20 amino acids that constitute human body protein 9 are indispensable (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine), which means they cannot be made in the body and must be supplied in the diet. There are five dispensable amino acids (alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, serine) that can be synthesized in the body whereas the remaining six are conditionally indispensable (arginine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, proline, tyrosine) meaning that they can be made by the body however their synthesis becomes limiting under specific conditions.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have acknowledged that indispensable amino acids should be treated as individual nutrients since the amino acid composition of foods vary greatly and in vivo amino acids have various regulatory roles (i.e., precursors for coenzymes, hormones, nucleic acids and other molecules).

Implications for Reducing Chronic Disease Risk

Washington (DC): National Academies Press (US); 1989.

Diet and Health examines the many complex issues concerning diet and its role in increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic disease. It proposes dietary recommendations for reducing the risk of the major diseases and causes of death today: atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, and dental caries.

8. Protein
Proteins account for about three-fourths of the dry matter in most human tissues other than bone and adipose tissue. They are macromolecules with molecular weights ranging from a few thousand to many millions, and they are required for practically every essential function in the body. From the standpoint of nutrition, the human body does not require dietary protein per se. Rather, it requires the nine essential amino acids that are present in dietary proteins. Dietary sources of utilizable carbon, usually from carbohydrates, and nitrogen are required for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids.

The nine essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. They are deemed essential because they cannot be synthesized by mammals, at least in the amounts needed, and are therefore essential constituents of an adequate diet for humans.

Organic Compound
Chemical Compound

Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides.

In general, organic compounds are substances that contain carbon (C), and carbon atoms provide the key structural framework that generates the vast diversity of organic compounds. All things on Earth (and most likely elsewhere in the universe) that can be described as living have a crucial dependence on organic compounds. Foodstuffs—namely, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—are organic compounds, as are such vital substances as hemoglobin, chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones, and vitamins.

The digestive system consists of several key parts, each with its own specialized functions that contribute to the overall process of breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste from the body.

Mouth: The mouth is where digestion begins. Teeth mechanically break down food into smaller pieces, while saliva, produced by salivary glands, contains enzymes like amylase that start the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates.

Esophagus: This muscular tube connects the mouth to the stomach and uses rhythmic
contractions called peristalsis to push food down into the stomach.

Stomach: The stomach is a muscular organ that further breaks down food both mechanically through muscular contractions and chemically through the action of gastric juices. Gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and enzymes like pepsin, help break down amino acids into smaller peptides.

Small Intestine: The small intestine is where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients occur. Divided into three parts—the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum—the small intestine receives digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver and gallbladder. These enzymes and bile help break down carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats into their smallest components, which can then be absorbed through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream.

Large Intestine (Colon): The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, forming f***s. It also houses beneficial bacteria that aid in the digestion of certain substances and produce vitamins. Re**um and A**s: The re**um stores f***s until they are ready to be expelled from the body through the a**s during defecation.

Accessory organs:

Liver: The liver produces bile, a digestive fluid that emulsifies fats and helps with their digestion and absorption.

Gallbladder: The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver and releases it into the small intestine when needed to aid in fat digestion.

Pancreas: The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate, which are released into the small intestine to further break down carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats, and neutralize stomach acid. Overall, the digestive system plays a critical roll in breaking down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and amino acids. They can then be absorbed into the bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth and repair. Unused materials are discarded as f***s.

Chapter 4
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates are primary metabolites universally
present in living beings on our planet. As the first
product of photosynthesis, carbohydrates are the
starting point for all phytochemicals, and also, by extension,
for all animal biochemicals. More carbohydrates
occur in nature than any other type of natural compound.
The most abundant single organic substance on Earth is
cellulose, a polymer of glucose, which is the main structural
material of plants.

Functions of Carbohydrates
• Primary nutritional components for all animals
• Nutritional energy sources for metabolism in both
plants and animals
• Sources of carbon in metabolic processes
• Forms of energy storage in the body
• Sources of flavor and sweetness in food
• Primary dietary fiber sources
• Important structural elements of cells and tissues (for
example, cellulose in plant cell walls)
• Components of cell-to-cell contact and biological
recognition processes

The name carbohydrate was originally assigned to
compounds believed to be hydrates of carbon, of the general
formula Cn(H,0)n. Of course, we now know that
many other molecules are also hydrates of carbon, so the
word has become an interesting reflection on the early
history of biochemistry. The definition of carbohydrate has
been modified and broadened to include polyhydroxy
aldehydes and ketones, alcohols and acids, and simple
derivatives of these compounds, as well as the products
formed by their condensation into oligosaccharides or
polysaccharides. In fact, many compounds of unusual
structure that do not conform to the general formula are
now included in the expanded group of compounds
known as carbohydrates.

CLASSIFICATION OF CARBOHYDRATES
In biochemistry, sugars and carbohydrates are now commonly
termed saccharides. The name is derived from the
Latin word saccharim, meaning "sugar." Carbohydrates
are usually classified according to size and thus solubility.
For example, a monosaccharide contains one sugar, a disaccharide
contains two, and a polysaccharide contains
many sugars. In general, the larger the molecule, the less
soluble it is in water. Most carbohydrates in plants are
bound as oligosaccharides or polysaccharides or attached
to a range of different aglycones as glycosides. Much variation
occurs in the way they are linked in plant glycosides,
oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides.
Carbohydrates may be classified according to the
number and relationships of the monosaccharide groups
present.

Monosaccharides have three to nine carbon atoms, although
five or six is most common.

Oligosaccharides are molecules formed by the combination
of 10 or fewer monosaccharides. The bond between
them is called a glycosidal bond. Disaccharides, a
subcategory of oligosaccharides, are extremely important
in nutrition.

Polysaccharides have 10 or more monosaccharide units.
This group can be broken into subcategories of homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides. Glycosides are
formed via a bond between a sugar (a monosaccharide
or oligosaccharide) and a nonsugar molecule (known as
the aglycone or genin). The numerous glycosides found
in plants are of great importance to herbal medicine
and are discussed later in this chapter.

Brain Basics: Understanding Sleep: Good Night's Sleep

Tips for Getting a Good Night's Sleep

Getting enough sleep is important for your health. Here are a few tips to improve your sleep:

Set a schedule—go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
Exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week, but not within a few hours of bedtime.
Avoid caffeine and ni****ne late in the day and alcoholic drinks before bed.
Relax before bed—try a warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine.
Create a room for sleep—avoid bright lights and loud sounds, keep the room at a comfortable temperature, and don’t watch TV or use a smartphone or computer in your bedroom.
Don’t lie in bed awake. If you can’t get to sleep, do something else, like reading or listening to calming music, until you feel tired.
See a doctor if you have problems sleeping or if you feel unusually tired during the day. Most sleep disorders can be treated effectively.
Hope Through Research
Scientists continue to learn about the function and regulation of sleep. A key focus of research is to understand the risks involved with being chronically sleep deprived and the relationship between sleep and disease. People who are chronically sleep deprived are more likely to be overweight, have strokes and cardiovascular disease, infections, and certain types of cancer than those who get enough sleep. Sleep disturbances are common among people with age-related neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Many mysteries remain about the association between sleep and these health problems. Does the lack of sleep lead to certain disorders, or do certain diseases cause a lack of sleep? These, and many other questions about sleep, represent the frontier of sleep research.
