In this article we will discuss about the two main types of amino acids, i.e, alphatic amino acids and cyclic amino acids. 1. Aliphatic Amino Acids: A. Hydrocarbon Chain Amino Acids: 1) Glycine (Gly) or glycocoll, or α-aminoacetic acid is the simplest of the amino acids because R = H: Glycine is very widely distributed […]

After reading this article you will learn about the synthesis of catecholamines. Norepinephrine (NE) or noradrenaline (NA) is the main transmitter at sympathetic neuro-effector junctions (except sweat glands and hair follicles) and CNS. Other neurotransmitters related to adrenergic transmission are dopamine (predominant in brain) and epinephrine (secreted by adrenal medulla). They are commonly named as […]
Metabolism of Amino Acids | Biochemistry
Article Shared by 
In this article we will discuss about the process of metabolism in amino acids. We know that ammonia can be formed and then be found in the form of amino group of glutamic acid. We have studied the reactions — transamination and deamination — by which amino groups can be added to or removed from […]
