Document Summary
Nutrient interactions (to drug or to nutrient) Convert acetyl coa to malonyl coa (2 to 3) *biotin attach to long chain amino acid (lyseine) has nitrogen coming in. ***looking back at other vitamins; other vitamins that have nitrogen are . **common deficiency by raw eggs (animals like chickens and cows can be deficient too can be slightly made by bacteria (only other nutrient like that is vitamin k) Liver, soybeans, egg yolk, cereals, legumes, nuts. Avidin in egg whites binds biotin and inhibits absorption glycoprotein (avidin) Biotin not get destroyed by ascorbic acid because it is coated; prevent enzymes from breaking it down. Food source for pantothenic acid & biotin eggs, dairy, white colored foods. **large intestinal bacterial synthesis can be a source of biotin. *people on antibiotics and clean guts (babies) don"t have enough biotin. Biotin linked to lysine (long amino acid) Carboxy attached to amino acid= peptide linkage.
