The athletic trainer’s role is to recognize, evaluate, and provide immediate care for athletic injuries; prevent athletic injuries by taping, bandaging, and bracing vulnerable body parts; make referrals to medical doctors when necessary; and rehabilitate injured athletes. In organic chemistry, an amide, also known as an organic amide or a carboxamide, is a compound with the general formula RC(=O)NR′R″, where R, R', and R″ represent organic groups or hydrogen atoms. Amide hydrolysis is illustrated in the following example: Hydrolysis of an amide in acid solution actually gives a carboxylic acid and the salt of ammonia or an amine (the ammonia or amine initially formed is neutralized by the acid). Although this amide to carboxylate conversion is thermodynamically a downhill reaction, peptide bonds are kinetically very stable (they react slowly) at neutral pH. Although this amide to carboxylate conversion is thermodynamically a downhill reaction, peptide bonds are kinetically very stable (they react slowly) at neutral pH. When the amide CH3CH2CH2CH2CONH2 is hydrolyzed in an NaOH solution, the products are CH3CH2CH2CH2COO−Na+ and NH3. You can recognise the ammonia by smell and because it turns red litmus paper blue.

Generally, amides resist hydrolysis in plain water, even after prolonged heating. They also need to be able to evaluate nutritional supplements because providing the wrong one can get an athlete banned from competition and may bring sanctions against a school.

When the amide CH3CH2CH2CH2CONH2 is hydrolyzed in an NaOH solution, the products are CH3CH2CH2CH2COO−Na+ and NH3. Hydrolysis of Esters 16 7.6 Hydrolysis of Amides The reversibility of this reaction means that an amide can hydrolyze to form an amine and a carboxylic acid. That being said, it is also true that controlled, specific hydrolysis of peptide bonds, catalyzed by a large, diverse class of enzymes called proteases, is a critical biochemical reaction type that can occur very rapidly, in many different biological contexts. Generally, amides can be hydrolyzed in either acidic or basic solution. 0000003489 00000 n Amide hydrolysis is illustrated in the following example: Hydrolysis of an amide in acid solution actually gives a carboxylic acid and the salt of ammonia or an amine (the ammonia or amine initially formed is neutralized by the acid).

Athletic training is an allied health-care profession recognized by the American Medical Association. Thioester, carboxylic ester, and amide hydrolysis: In the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, (S)-citryl CoA is hydrolyzed to citrate (EC 2.3.3.8): Acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7), an enzyme present in the synapse, catalyzes hydrolysis of the ester group in acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contraction.

Butyramide thus yields butyric acid and ammonia. The hydrolysis of a simple amide produces an organic acid and ammonia.

So far we have been looking at the formation of thioesters, carboxylic esters, and amides, starting from carboxylates. If you add sodium hydroxide solution to an unknown organic compound, and it gives off ammonia on heating (but not immediately in the cold), then it is an amide. 0000028171 00000 n A water nucleophile then attacks this ester, driving off acetate and completing the hydrolysis.

The hydrolysis of a simple amide produces an organic acid and ammonia. The mechanism of the alkaline amide hydrolysis has been intensively investigated.

Although all proteases catalyze essentially the same reaction – amide hydrolysis - different protease subfamilies have evolved different catalytic strategies to accomplish the same result.

Athletic trainers work in high schools, colleges, and other organizations where athletics programs are found. 0000003307 00000 n Amide hydrolysis is illustrated in the following example:

NaOH) / heat. The alkaline hydrolysis of amides actually involves reaction with hydroxide ions, but the result is similar enough that it is still classed as hydrolysis. Like many other hydrolytic enzymes, the acetylcholinesterase reaction proceeds in two phases: first, a covalent enzyme-substrate intermediate is formed when the acyl group of acetylcholine is transferred to an active-site serine on the enzyme (a transesterification reaction).
