AMINO ACIDS & PROTEINS by Professor Fink

Review of Biological Chemistry, including Amino Acids and Proteins. Reference is made to the globular structure of the protein, denaturation back into a polypeptide chain, structure of amino acids, essential and non-essential amino acids. Lecture includes the role of proteins as enzymes and what coenzymes and enzyme inhibitors are (including the action of a number of drugs). Lecture also covers protein hormones (& contrasts them with steroid hormones), including insulin, growth hormone & oxytocin, and the role of antibodies (Immunoglobulins).

I love it when he does the voices of the student asking a question. Lol. This guy’s awesome.

[@bless1012]

I think that the analogy between a chain of amino acids and writing a sentence is a great example of understanding how a protein structure looks like!!!

[@skumarself]

Sir, your great service to us students, much appreciated. Great work !!!

[@AliG-qy3wx]

Thank you so much professor 🤓 it's amazing to listen to you're lectures

[@odemi2537]

Thank you for such a great lecture, Professor Fink

[@rhettsmedia]

I love this guys teaching style I wish I could take every class he has

[@Fozz-e]

Came here to learn about amino acids. Job done. Thanks!!

[@mariahchelsey123]

This really helps with taking online classes THANKS

[@pashya1988]

d insight u provide in topics is all that is essential to know...thank u so much..

[@octavioreyes1231]

Saludos y muchas, MUCHAS GRACIAS desde México :D

[@Fogtownproductions]

Thank you for the lectures . The clapping is awesome . It wakes me up .

[@peterkim766]

Dr.Fink You are the best !!I love your lectures!!

[@Debedeb]

Love your teaching btw keep on sharing and thank you so much

[@rosemaryigbokwe1418]

You are gifted with teaching, Thank-you Sir

[@gabrielagattelli5999]

Thanks, it helped a lot!

[@santiagomarcosfull]

great great professor! congrats!

[@GG-xt5kx]

you are the best Professor

[@dahirdayah4661]

Thanks you very much Prof.

[@weslynkelly9285]

Very informative i learnt something new today

[@projectart8893]

professorfink Could you please make those projected notes (with out your annotations) attainable for print? or lead/link me to where they are available? Lastly Thank you for your upload your videos are very helpful.

[@ina268]

This cycle of lectures is just amazing and so engaging, thank you very much professor Fink!

[@curiousbit9228]

Cool lecture!

[@cindyvanlenthe650]

Thank you professor Fink. Your lectures are so good to follow. I study nutrition in Norway, but learn more from your lectures! And for the first time I think physiology is fun and studying is a pleasure. Thank you.

[@goodtimesnutrition]

I was trying to get a better understanding on Amino Acid for work out purposes

[@valtito9297]

sleepy "loud clap! awake. nice!

[@curiousbit9228]

Haha!

[@ktmilliken1860]

Makes the complex simple.

Thank you

[@satisfaxshine]

Dear professor Fink I'm super fan of you and already get enriched by your teaching, but I have a comment on a statement you mentioned in the lecture regarding the cyanide poisoning antidote that there is no an antidote, buyer what about the known antidote hydroxcoblamine

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

I have heard from other research doctors that dietary cholesterol is NOT absorbed directly and in fact can't be. Time mark 32: Also some oral ingestion can be made through absorption into the mouth tissue, right, making the choice of absorption paths greater than oral or injection. i.e dermal, transdermal patches etc. which bring into play the oral sprays that are to be held in the mouth and not swallowed (micronutrients (minerals)).

[@alyaagamal5907]

Perfect

[@leemayviljoen7402]

Dear Professor fink! I have a question regarding cyanide. If I'm correct, cyanide is found in cigarette. Then how about people who inhale this substance through smoking? Why does it only have a long term affect on their bodies? Thank you

[@nelsonmwale136]

should come to University of Zambia someday

[@allens6994]

Sorry, last post needed a "c" to make it Cell Killer

[@doctorabdirahim9515]

some of enzyme inhibitors are so important to us like aceylcholine sterase found in the post synaptic neurons they do inhibit when acetylcholine ends its work, if they didn't, non inhibited acetylcholine can couse frequense samation or un wanted movement and the person will do jerk proffesor.

[@mahmoudalkhawaldeh5912]

Hey sir, I hope you are doing well Could you correct me plz if I'm wrong I think gastric epithelium has exocrine and endocrine activities as well 34:28

[@muhamedtime3854]

Hi professor I have a question you said that protein hormones can not be taken orally so what about thyroxine ?!!!!!

[@professorfink]

Good Question. Thyroxin is not a protein ("polypeptide") hormone, but actually a modified amino acid (the amino acid tyrosine with attached iodine). So, it is not digested further, but absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Thus, it can be taken orally.

min 8:35 his face reaction to vegans. I am an alternating vegetarian/vegan, and I never laughed so hard as this to such reaction, loving it, see the perspective.

[@Bioacon]

My lecture on denaturation

[@abhinnatma]

Why nature use only left handed amino acids to make different type of proteins?

[@yeppy013]

What exact course this? Biology or Physiology?

[@professorfink]

As the Title Indicates: PHYSIOLOGY; Review of Amino Acids & Proteins

[@Dazzletoad]

Great lecture. Inportant to note, however, it turns out there is indeed an antidotal intervention for cyanide poisoning.

[@professorfink]

"If cyanide is inhaled it can cause a coma with seizures, apnea, and cardiac arrest, with death following in a matter of seconds." Source: Wikipedia; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_poisoning

[@gabrielagattelli5999]

It’s funny when you do that thing with your voice hahahaha

[@shanesavage484]

thats not true hydroxycobalamin binds the cyanide

[@MayIPleaseAskYou]

A HEN'S PERIOD is NOT 'Food'

[@MsMelissa216]

If heat denatures protein, then how are we all alive from cooking our meats?

[@professorfink]

The proteins (in your food) are going to be digested into individual amino acids (so it doesn't matter if the proteins uncoil ("denature"). HOWEVER, you don't want the proteins in your own body to uncoil & stop working.
