Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.70E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why biosynthesis and catabolism of amino acids not being the reversal of same
Concept introduction:
The process of the synthesis of non-essential amino acid in the body is known as the process of biosynthesis of amino acid. The starting materials for this process are citric acid cycle and intermediates of the glycolysis pathways. The catabolism of amino acid is the process of deamination of an amino acid.
