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
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
