Amino Acids

It's time to start learning about all the monomers that make up large biomolecules, and the first one we will look at is the amino acid. These make up proteins, which is most of what you are, so this is pretty important stuff!

Thank you for making a video where you SPEAK on a subject that I searched for. So many videos on amino acids are just musical power points with no narration. I don't want to sound like a dumb tool, but when I visit KZbin it isn't because I'm itching for a good read. Much appreciated!

Now I have to re learn everything I thought I knew. Thank you so much. I very rarely eat meats so I take these and they energize me is the main reason I take them. They also help me to think. I do drink two glasses of the acv mix so my system stays non acidic or so I thought. Thank you, again.

At what pH are the amino acids in the NH2 and COOH form, as shown until minute 3?

[@user-tk8tb1rh8z]

Wow. Absolutely brilliant explanation

[@tylermatthews5205]

@professordave I've looked on your page but can't seem to find it. Do you/could you do a video specifically on pH & Amino acids? Protonation vs. deprotonation when looking at pH of solution and pKa of the functional group etc. ie. To determine the structure or charge of any amino acid: • If the pH of the solution is LOWER than the pKa of the functional group, the functional group will be protonated. • If the pH of the solution is HIGHER than the pKa of the functional group, the functional group will be deprotonated.

[@tbraskey]

I am very conflicted between two amino acids. L-Lysine and L-Arginine. I've read over and over in many articles that L-Lysine blocks L-Arginine. If so, why do so many articles advocate combining the two? I am taking several, most recently taking Lysine, Arginine and Orthinine together because many articles say they create a wonderful synergy. but am always conflicted. Am I wasting product? I can't seem to forget that L-Lysine blocks Arginine, so each and every time I mix the two, I am worried I am wasting Arginine if I take it with Lysine (If indeed the latter blocks it.) I want to take both Lysine and Arginine. So now I'm wondering should I take Arginine in the morning and maybe Lysine at night, but not together? This is confusing.

Every time I want to learn something I fall into these endless rabbit holes. I just wanted to know what a protein is and what a vitamin does. I still don't, but now I'm aware that I also don't understand what an enzyme is, what carbohydrates are, or amino acids, genes, DNA, RNA, organic compounds, the inner works of cells. Man... I need a few dozen lives just to grasp the slightest nip.
