Degradation of Amino Acids
2
Proteins provide
• energy when carbohydrate and lipid resources are not
available
• carbon atoms to be used in the citric acid cycle
• carbon atoms to be used in synthesis of fatty acids, ketone
bodies, and glucose

Transamination
3
In transamination,
• amino acids are degraded in the liver
• an amino group is transferred from an amino acid to an keto acid, usually -ketoglutarate
• a new amino acid and -keto acid are formed
• when alanine combines with -ketoglutarate, pyruvate and
glutamate are produced

Oxidative Deamination

Oxidative deamination
• removes the ammonium group (−NH3+) from glutamate as
NH4+
• regenerates -ketoglutarate for transamination

The urea cycle
• removes toxic ammonium ions from amino acid
degradation
• converts ammonium ions to urea in the liver

Urea
• produces 25–30 g of urea daily for urine formation in the
kidneys

ATP Energy from Amino Acids
9
Carbon skeletons of amino acids
• form intermediates of the citric acid cycle
• produce energy
• enter the citric acid cycle at different places depending on the
amino acid
Three-carbon skeletons:
alanine, serine, and cysteine
pyruvate
Four-carbon skeletons:
aspartate, asparagine
oxaloacetate
Five-carbon skeletons:
glutamine, glutamate, proline,
arginine, histidine
glutamate

Overview of Metabolism
13
In metabolism,
• catabolic pathways degrade large molecules
• anabolic pathways synthesize molecules
• branch points determine which compounds are degraded to
acetyl CoA to meet energy needs or converted to glycogen
for storage
• excess glucose is converted to body fat
• fatty acids and amino acids are used for energy when
carbohydrates are not available
• some amino acids are produced by transamination
