Medical Biochemistry: Metabolism of Amino Acids

In this course, we will start our journey with the story of protein digestion and absorption in the intestines. all the way to how our body cells utilize the absorbed amino acids. We will tell the story of how some of the absorbed amino acids are metabolized and used to synthesize some important compounds in the body.

To teach this in a very interesting manner, we have divided this course into short lectures of about 18 to 20 in totalThis course consists of about twenty (20) lectures videos with Clinical Case MCQs discussionProtein Digestion & AbsorptionOverview of Amino AcidsDigestion & Absorption of ProteinsPhenylalanine & Tyrosine Metabolism PhenylketonuriaDisorders of Tyrosine MetabolismCatecholamineMelanin SynthesisTyrosine in ThyroxineTryptophan MetabolismTryptophan & Kynurenine PathwaySerotonin & Melanin PathwayCarcinoid TumourBranched Chain Amino Acids MetabolismMaple Syrup Urine DiseaseSulphur Containing Amino Acids metabolism Methionine & Cysteine MetabolismHomocystinuria & Other SCAAs DisordersNitrogen Balance and ExcretionOverview of Amino Acids Catabolism Part 1Overview of Amino Acids Catabolism Part 2Urea CycleUrea Cycle DisordersHyperammonemia (Diagnosis & Treatment)Clinical CasesMultiple Choice Questions Part 1Multiple Choice Questions Part 2Multiple Choice Questions Part 3We will also consider some clinical Multiple Choice Questions Review as it relates to Amino Acids MetabolismMedical students preparing for their professional exams, like the Part 1 MBBS or USMLE Step 1 will find this course very handy.
