BIOSYNTHESIS OF AMINO ACIDS-Glutamate Family

Amino acids are organic compounds that consist of alpha carbon in the center, hydrogen (H), amino (-NH2), carboxyl (-COOH), and specific R (side chain) groups. One linear chain of amino acids is called a polypeptide, and one or more polypeptides make up a protein. There are 20 major types of amino acids found in proteins. Amino acids are classified into essential and non essential amino acids. Nonessential amino acids: Alanine, Asparagine, Aspartate, Cysteine, Glutamate, Glutamine, Glycine, Proline, Serine, Tyrosine Essential amino acids: Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine All amino acids present in proteins are α-amino acids. The carbon skeleton of amino acids is derived from intermediates of carbohydrate catabolism primarily glycolysis, hexose monophosphate shunt, and Krebs cycle. The glutamate family includes four non essential amino acids (Glutamate, Glutamine, Proline and Arginine); three of which are synthesized from glutamate. #aminoacids #biosynthesis_aminoacids #plants #glutamate #proline #arginine
