Amino Acid Metabolism

✅ Amino Acid Metabolism, 3️⃣rd Edition covers 📔 all aspects of the biochemistry and ➕ nutritional biochemistry of the amino acids. Starting with an overview of nitrogen fixation and ➕ the incorporation of inorganic nitrogen into amino acids, the book 📚️ then details other major nitrogenous compounds in micro-organisms, plants 🌵 and ➕ animals. Contents include a discussion of the catabolism of amino acids and ➕ other nitrogenous compounds in animals, and ➕ the microbiological reactions involved in release of nitrogen gas ⛽️ back 🔙 into the atmosphere. Mammalian (mainly human) protein and ➕ amino acid requirements are considered in detail, and ➕ the methods that are used to determine them ➡️👥. Chapters consider individual amino acids, grouped according to their metabolic origin, and ➕ discussing their biosynthesis (in plants 🌵 and ➕ micro-organisms for those that are dietary essentials for human beings), major metabolic roles (mainly in human metabolism) and ➕ catabolism (again 🔂 mainly in human metabolism). There is also discussion of regulatory mechanisms 👨‍🔧 for all these metabolic pathways, and ➕ of metabolic and ➕ genetic diseases affecting the (human) metabolism of amino acids. Throughout the book 📚️ the emphasis is on the nutritional importance of amino acids, integration and ➕ control 🎛️ of metabolism and ➕ metabolic and ➕ other disturbances of relevance to human biochemistry and ➕ health. Completely revised edition of this comprehensive text covering 📔 all the latest findings 🔎 in amino acid metabolism research Written 🖋️ by an authority in the field 🏑 Covers 📔 new 🆕 advances in structural biology 🧫 Clear illustrations of all structures and ➕ metabolic pathways Full 🌝 list of recommended further reading 👤📖 for each chapter and ➕ bibliography of papers 📜 cited in the text
