Errata: 5:10 the second T should say "Tryptophan" not "Tyrosine"

[@andreainzaghi7373]

ok thank you for clarifying I have just noticed that.

9:50 as well

oooh thank goodness i thought i was going mad, good video though

To remember the derivatives of Arginine, it's just all the ones with "R": aRginine --> cReatine, uRea, and nitRic oxide

[@centralperk7062]

Good one

[@MsChicaEspanol]

do you any other nemonic for other diseases?

[@nathanfay1988]

For those of you who took Biochemistry in undergrad, you might have also learned Private Tim Hall (PVT TIM HALL) which also can work for the 9 essential AA's. Note that Arginine would be the 10th but it's only essential in children.

[@CP-ov8sd]

if you use this mnemonic, it also helps that the two L's are at the end of haLL are the strictly Ketogenic AA's. If you use PVT TIM HALL mnemonic, think of the private also saying "i LIVe for this military BRANCH". LIV=the branch amino acids

[@albertocalle2369]

Thanks for the hints, I don't know if it could help somebody but I came up with a mnemonic on my own for mixed Aminoacids. Ketogenic: you eat Lamb and Liver - Leucine / Lysine Glucogenic: you eat Honey, Mango, Vanilla - Histidine, Methionine, Valine Mixed: you eat Phun Threats until you get Tyred, fat and Isolated. - Phenilalanine, Threonine, Tyrosine and Isoleucine.

or you can simply remember as mixed PITT

[@clairejila4360]

You left out tryptophan

[@lululewiss2063]

For mixed AA THOR IS FEELING TIRED THOR: THReonine IS: ISOleucine FEEling: PHENYLalanine TIRed: TRYptophan

[@alhasanasaad9850]

They way I remember ketogenic/gluconeogenic AAs is that since they’re mixed, their names are longest (tryptophan, isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine). Works for me, hope it helps.

[@Cass_i]

I remember it as PITT

[@issacgeorgy8289]

Glucogenic aa- Met His Val-entine : so sweet!❤

[@harvey2733]

Basic amino acids can be remembered as HLA is the most BASIC thing to be known for organ transplant

[@alexcalimanc7003]

to remember mixed aa think brad PITTs diet: Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Threonine, Tyrosine

[@MsChicaEspanol]

love it

[@rahuljalota6866]

To remember the Mixed group of amino acids, if you learned the Essential amino acids, the Glucogenic amino acids, and the Ketogenic amino acids, the Mixed amino acids are the remainder of the amino acids in the Essential amino acids that are not the Glucogenic or Ketogenic. In other words, by process of elimination of the Glucogenic/Ketogenic amino acids from the Essential amino acids, you'll get the Mixed group.

[@masacatior]

Tyr also can be made by the body BUT it is made from Phe by phenylalanine hydroxylase. So if you cut Phe, Tyr turns essential.

[@fatimamemon1996]

To be honest you’re really a life saver I wish I would’ve paid more attention in my medical school but now I can understand well thank you so much you really make a difference in people lives like mine thanks ❤

Where do amino acids come from when rna is being transcribed. They form to make the protein but where do they come from, where does ribosome come from?

[@rajathr7217]

​@@qaz-fi1id pls get help

[@drids.]

@@qaz-fi1id The ribosome is a ribonucleic protein. Its protein part is synthesized in the cytoplasm, then it goes into the nucleus to receive an rRNA part and become a full ribosome. Our first set of organelles and ribosomes comes from the egg of our mothers.

[@subigya01]

It’s the best explanation of Basic I ever got. Always had hard time to understand the slang.😂😂

[@andrewpleva]

Im not sure if this was done intentionally but when I was following your video I memorized the essential AA in the order you had them, then at 4:30 when you started to talk about the different ketogenic, glucogenic and mixed AA I saw a pattern. What I did was in the order that you listed the essential AA I made a pattern to which catogory they fall into, the first two into the mixed catagory, then one into the glucogenic back to mixed for another two, then ketogenic gets two and the last two go to glucogenic.

[@hutshutrules123]

Mixed: three trips is loose fun: threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine phenylalanine

So good lecture, Doctor 🎉🎉❤

[@thanasegaran1]

First aid q n a test block 7, question 33) basically its asks for non essential amino acid, but the answer was histidine and the explanation given by the book is Histidine is an important and "essential" glucogenic amino acid in times of intense anabolic State such as infancy growth spurts and recovery from infection however it is usually categorized as a NON-ESSENTIAL amino acid because it can be synthesized by the healthy adult. 🤔

[@DirtyMedicine]

sounds like a nit-picky exception to a rule that is universally true in Biochemistry.

[@elsiesly6695]

amazing video,, thank you so much, wanted to add something , tyrosine is a non essential amino acid, our body makes it

Where do amino acids come from when rna is being transcribed. They form to make the protein but where do they come from, where does ribosome come from?

[@khalidaagdouche1698]

Mnemonic for mixed aa: 5:58 : the Tiring Trip Is Finally over Tiring: tyrosine , Threonine Trip: Triptophan Is: isoleucine Finally: Phenylalanine And if u think about it, it is tiring bcz it has to do both jobs Gluco and Ketogenesis I hpe it helps^^Threonine

[@Mcdude38]

I just got a question wrong because they were asking for co-factors. The co-factor for the branched chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase is THIAMINE.

"Her Leggings Are Basic"... fucking brilliant.

In 5:10, the second T should not be tryptophan instead of tyrosine?

I just think of the mixed amino acids as PITT for the University of Pittsburgh where the greatest QB of all time played, Dan Marino. (PITT: Phenyl, Iso, Tyro, Threo).

Tyrosine is both glucogenic and ketogenic and so is tryptophan

1.tyrosin is not essential amnio acid insted tryptophan 2. Mixed amino acids are Isoleucin, Phenyalanine, Tyrosin, Tryptophan (not threonine) correct me pls?

for mixed i use the mnemonic as "PITTbull Mix" because its the most common mutt
