  1. N2 NH3 or NO3- nitrogenase soil bacteria Plants & microorganisms Amino acids Plants require Nitrogen in the form of ammonia or nitrate. Animals require nitrogen in the form of amino acids. Both are dependent on soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into useable forms.

  2. Legumes, e.g. soy beans can fix N2 – Grains e.g. wheat/corn cannot – crop rotation Nitrogen-Fixing Nodules

Amino Transferases transamination enzymes or transaminases amino acid ‘X’ + a-keto acid ‘Y’ ↔ amino acid ‘Y’ + a-keto acid ‘X’ a-ketoglutarateGluand … Aspartate Aminotransferase Asp ↔ oxaloacetate Alanine Aminotransferase Ala↔ pyruvate Tyrosine Aminotransferase Tyr ↔ 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate Branched Chain AA Aminotransferase (Leu, Ile, Val) PhosphoserineAminotransferase If the a-keto acid corresponding to an amino acid is an intermediate of carbohydrate metabolism then that amino acid may be synthesized via a transamination reaction. Notable examples include Ala (pyruvate), Asp (oxaloacetate), and Glu (a-keto-glutarate).

  19. Ubiquitin is a protein ‘tag’ that marks another protein for proteolytic destruction

  20. Ubiquitin Ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1): ubiquitin + ATP  ubiquitin-AMP + PPi Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2): attaches to activated ubiquitin via SH Ubiquitin-protein ligase (E3): transfers ubiquitin to e-amino of target protein t1/2 & N-terminal rule (e.g. R = 2 min.
