About this document
Amino Acid Metabolism Overview by alanmathew9790 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Amino acid metabolism involves transamination and deamination processes for ammonia liberation. Transamination transfers amino groups between amino acids and keto acids, while deamination removes amino groups to form ammonia, which is detoxified to urea in the liver. The urea cycle converts ammonia to urea, a less toxic waste product, through a series of enzymatic steps, consuming ATP and linking to the TCA cycle.
