About this document
Protein and Amino Acid Metabolism by La Ode Rinaldi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes protein and amino acid metabolism. It discusses: 1) The digestion of proteins into amino acids and the degradation of amino acids through transamination and oxidative deamination. 2) The urea cycle, which converts ammonium ions produced during amino acid degradation into urea to be excreted in urine. 3) The fates of carbon atoms from amino acids, which enter intermediary metabolism as pyruvate, oxaloacetate, or glutamate to be used in the citric acid cycle.
