Amino acid synthesis

Amination: an ammonium ion (NH4+) is used to form an amino group that is attached to a molecule to form an amino acid

Transamination: creation of a different amino acid by transfer of an amino group to another molecule

New cards

Amino acid catabolism

The first step in amino acid catabolism is the removal of the amino group, leaving a carbon chain that can be converted to private, acetyl-CoA, or an intermediary in the citric acid cycle

Deamination: removal of an amino group releasing ammonium

Liver enzyme convert toxic ammonium to urea that is excreted in urine
