Amino acid synthesis and

These two methods ate popular for a-amino acid synthesis, and used in the industrial production of some amino acids since taw materials are readily available.

In fact, the malaria parasite has a limited capacity for de novo amino acids synthesis, and its survival is dependent upon hemoglobin proteolysis. The amino acids derived from the hydrolysis of globins are incorporated into the parasite s proteins and appear to be available for energy metabolism. This digestion of hemoglobin releases heme, which is...

Unlike two previous theories of life origin, only a few pieces of experimental evidence exist at present to prove the theoretical speculations. However, we have to notice the verification of the basic mechanism of molecular hydrogen generation as a reducing power, furthermore, the amide bond synthesis has been also demonstrated, both at temperatures within the range of hydrothermal vents (100 °C). In addition, the evidence for at least sulfide-based amino acid synthesis and polymerization from simple precursors has been shown. The formation of acetic acid and an activated thioester from carbon monoxide, methanethiol and various combinations of ferrous and nickel sulfides has been experimentally proved as well. However, further verification is necessary for the modes and rates of organic synthesis. 

In addition to its role in energy generation, the citric acid cycle also plays an important role in several biosynthetic processes, such as gluconeogenesis, amino acid synthesis, and porphyrin synthesis. 

Two types of reactions play prominent roles in amino acid metabolism. In transamination reactions, new amino acids are produced when a-amino groups are transferred from donor a-amino acids to acceptor a-keto acids. Because transamination reactions are reversible, they play an important role in both amino acid synthesis and degradation. Ammonium ions or the amide nitrogen of glutamine can also be directly incorporated into amino acids and eventually other metabolites. 

The glutamate family of transaminases is very important because the ketoacid corresponding to glutamate is a-ketoglutarate, one of the citric acid cycle intermediates. This provides a link between the citric acid cycle and amino acid metabolism. These transaminases provide amino groups for amino acid synthesis and collect amino groups during catabolism of amino acids. 

Ammonia is a universal participant in amino acid synthesis and degradation, but its accumulation has toxic consequences. Because terrestrial animals must conserve water, they convert ammonia to a form that can be excreted without large water losses. Birds, terrestrial reptiles, and insects convert most of their excess ammonia to uric acid, an oxidized purine. Most mammals excrete the bulk of their nitrogen as urea. See urea cycle reactions here.
