What is Nitrogen Disposal in Amino Acid Metabolism about?
This document discusses amino acid catabolism and nitrogen disposal. It notes that amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. The first phase of amino acid catabolism involves removing the amino group via transamination or oxidative deamination, producing ammonia and alpha-ketoacids. The second phase breaks down the carbon skeletons of alpha-ketoacids into common intermediates for energy production. The body tightly regulates amino acid levels and disposes of excess nitrogen primarily
