Section 1
Nutritional Function of
Proteins
§ 1.1 The significance of proteins
1. Keep the cells and tissues growing,
renewing and mending
2. Take part in some kinds of
important physiological activities
3. Oxidation and supply energy
§ 1.2 The requirements and
nutritious value of proteins
1. Nitrogen balance
Measuring the amount of intake
and losses of total nitrogen can help
us to know the general situation of
protein metabolism.
There are three kinds of conditions:
1) Normal nitrogen balance
intake N = losses N
2) Positive nitrogen balance
intake N > losses N
3) Negative nitrogen balance
intake N < losses N
2. Physical requirements of
proteins
• Lowest requirement:
30~50g/day
• Recommend requirement:
80g/day (65kg man)
3. Nutrition value of proteins
(1) Essential amino acids : Amino acids
that cannot be synthesized by the
body and must be obtained from
the diet.
Eight kinds of essential AAs:
Val, Ile, Leu, Phe, Met, Trp, Thr, Lys
(2) Non- essential amino acids
other 12 kinds of AAs
(3) Semi-essential amino acids
Tyr←Phe
Cys←Met
Note: His and Arg are essential AAs for
infants and children.
(4) Complementary effect of dietary
proteins
• Two or more plant proteins are
consumed together which
complement each other in essential
amino acid content.

§2.2 Absorption
§2.3 Putrefaction of proteins
Concept: Some undigested proteins
and no absorbed products are
anaerobic decomposed by the
bacteria in intestine.
The products are toxic to body except
few vitamin and fatty acid.

2. Production of ammonia (NH3)
• Two sources:
(1) Metabolism on unabsorbed amino
acids
(2) Urea hydrolyzed by urease
3. Some other toxic materials
• Tyr → phenol
• Trp → indole
• Cys → hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
Section 3 General
Metabolism of Amino Acid
§ 3.1 The sources and
fates of AAs
Amino acid metabolic pool: amino
acids in intracellular and
extracellular fluids.
1. Sources of amino acids
• Dietary protein from intestine
• Breakdown of tissue protein
• Synthesis in the body
2. Fates of amino acids
• Deamination
• Decarboxylation
• Synthesis of non-protein nitrogen
compounds such as purine and
pyrimidine
• Synthesis of proteins

§ 3.2 Degradation of protein
in cells
1. Lysosomal pathway
• Extracellular proteins, membraneassociated proteins and long-lived
proteins
• ATP-independent process
• Cathepsins
2. Cytosol pathway
• Abnormal proteins, damaged
proteins and short-lived proteins
• ATP and ubiquitin
• Proteasome
§ 3.3 The catabolism of AAs
1. Deamination of AAs
Four types:
transamination
oxidative deamination
union deamination
non-oxidative deamination

Transamination is the process by
which an amino group, usually from
glutamate, is transferred to an α-keto
acid, with formation of the
corresponding amino acid plus αketoglutarate.
Key points:
① reversible
② Lys and Pro cannot be
transaminated.
③ Aminotransferases utilize a
coenzyme - pyridoxal phosphate which is derived from vitamin B6.

(3) Union deamination
The α- amino group of most amino
acids is transferred to α- ketoglutarate
to form an α- keto acid and glutamate
by transaminase. Glutamate is then
oxidatively deaminated to yield
ammonia and α- ketoglutarate by
glutamate dehydrogenase.

comes from ammonia, another
nitrogen comes from Asp.

(1) SAM is the direct donor of methyl in
body. Methylation can synthesize
many important materials such as:
choline, creatine, etc.
(2) N5-CH3FH4 is the indirect donor of
methyl in the body.
(3) The free folic acid or VitB12

DNA, which will lead to anemia.
