Aliphatic - NON POLAR “Glaciers in Alaska Victoriously Locate Isolated Prowlers”
Straight
Branched (BCAA’s) – only aa’s not catabolized by
liver (increase [ ] = anabolic signal for protein
synthesis in muscle)
Cyclic
Glycine
-used in porphyrin
(hemoglobin)
sythesis
Alanine
-major interorogan N
carrier
*Leucine
*Isoleucine
*Valine
Proline
-most abundant protein
in body
-hydroxylated +
crosslinked in collagen
Aromatic – benzene rings “AROMA of Pine (Fine needles), Timber (are Yellow) and Wide Trees is too good to miss”
*Phenylalanine - NON POLAR
-essential for Tyr
-inability to metabolize Phe (into Tyr) =
genetic disease phenylketonuria PKU
Tyrosine – POLAR
-spares Phe requirement when providing
dietary Tyr
-synthesis of dopamine,
epi/noraepinephrine
*Tryptophan – NON POLAR
-Synthesis of serotonin (mood, sleep) and
niacin (Vit. B3)
Hydroxylated/ Alcohol – POLAR “ALCOHOL is a SERious TREat”
Serine
-site of protein phosphorylation on OH group
*Threonine
-site of protein phosphorylation on OH group
Sulfur – NON POLAR “we METHodically Check for SULFUR”
*Methionine
-1st limiting aa in legumes
-essential to Lys
-initial aa in synthesis of almost all eukaryotic proteins
Cysteine
-Provides surface sulfhydryls
-spares Met requirements w/ dietary Lys
-glutionine synthesis (major intracellular reducing agent)
-essential in protein structure/folding from disulfide bond
formation

Document Summary
Aliphatic - non polar glaciers in alaska victoriously locate isolated prowlers . Branched (bcaa"s) only aa"s not catabolized by liver (increase [ ] = anabolic signal for protein synthesis in muscle) Aromatic benzene rings aroma of pine (fine needles), timber (are yellow) and wide trees is too good to miss . Inability to metabolize phe (into tyr) = genetic disease phenylketonuria pku. Synthesis of serotonin (mood, sleep) and niacin (vit. Hydroxylated/ alcohol polar alcohol is a serious treat . Sulfur non polar we methodically check for sulfur . Initial aa in synthesis of almost all eukaryotic proteins. Essential in protein structure/folding from disulfide bond formation. Basic positive charge/ p+ acceptor/ polar basically his lynx killed archies rat . Acidic negatice charge/p+ donor/ polar as per recent discoveries, acids are a component of glu-e . Amide polar nobody likes asparagus in their gluton free quesadillas.
