- Today's MedCat lesson provides every aspect that you need to memorize about the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. Amino acids are the #1 highest yield content area of the MCAT, so study these before you study anything else!

probably helpful to know the stop codons too: UAA, UGA, UAG. I remember it like this. U Are Annoying , U Go Away, U Are Gone.
I agree!
Lol!! I love that!!! Thanks love
@@stephanierauba4887 No problem! good luck with your studying!
@@LixRipz thank you so much!
That’s awesome haha
I love how you also have a playlist for money management from premed to attending. This is exactly the type of stuff i look for and focus on too glad to see it coming in a playlist along with high yield MCAT
Glad I delivered!
Super helpful! Thank you so much for your contents
You're welcome!
Your videos are so helpful! THANK YOU!!🙌🙌
Thank you!
Wow your videos are so underrated im so greatful to have found your channel! Thank you, seriously struggling here
Happy to help! You've got this!
Hey everyone! If you like this video, feel free to like and subscribe-and perhaps most importantly, share with others taking the MCAT! If I could share one piece of information only to anyone taking the MCAT, it would be the information in this video. 😁
Your Videos are great. Would love to see a high-yield Organic Chemistry for MCAT video.
@@legaleze121 Working on those; coming soon!
thank you sm for the video!
Of course!!
If you haven’t already, you should make an updated video of MCAT requirements for this application cycle! There’s a lot of conflicting info about it
jk I see you already have one 😂
What do you mean as far as conflicting info?
MedCat ✔️ Some videos are showing the protocol mid-pandemic as far as the shortened test and everything, while others haven’t acknowledged that the test length is back to normal now but we’ll have to wear out mask and stuff!
Let me know what video y'all would like to see next!
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear is the best book about learning how to study for the MCAT. IMHO. - Ted Vegh ❤️🇺🇸🌎💰💪
I'll have to give it a read!
Anyone else do much better drawing/writing things out over and over again to learn over flashcards?
Yes! I usually use flashcards to remind myself to draw them out, then check myself using the back of the flashcard.
I thought D and L only applied to sugars and their their respective hydroxide positions, it can also apply to amino acids?
Yes, it also applies to amino acids. The D and L configurations actually predate the R and S system, which is more common in organic chemistry (note that R/S does NOT correspond to D/L, though they often correlate). The good news is that you just need to memorize that L-amino acids are what humans use to make proteins! No need to be able to take a look at an amino acid and classify it as D or L for the MCAT!
Here's an article that explains a bit of the history as well as helps you understand D and L: www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2017/05/24/d-and-l-sugars/
Cysteine only AA with the R configuration according to cip naming conventions
All AA chiral except glycine which only has a hydrogen as an R group
Agreed! I go over this in my nonpolar amino acids review: th-cam.com/video/IwlbueoXQv4/w-d-xo.html
Agreed! Though I would wager that if they ask about the alpha carbon, it will be in the context of D/L. Also, if you remember how to assign R/S, you probably shouldn't need to memorize this anyways!
u need to the stop codons also :"(
Not need to know: isoleucine and threonine are the only aa that have chiral carbon in their side chains
What do you mean by "not need to know" ?
Im so confused, in the video you say that the human genome codes for 20 amino acids but I was told that there are 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot make itself. So, wouldn't it mean that the body only codes for 11 amino acids?
Your genome codes for all 20 amino acids to make proteins. Your body can make 11 of those amino acids on its own through metabolic processes. The other 9 need to come from your diet so that they can be incorporated into proteins coded for by your genome. They're still coded for, but you cannot make them yourself.
I second what Chris said! When making a protein, we have 20 building blocks (amino acids) at our disposal. We get 9 of those from only outside sources. 11 of those we have the capability of coding separate enzymes (again, using amino acids to make those enzymes, which are proteins) that can make amino acids from other molecules.
