The synthesis of enzymes – or more generally, the synthesis of proteins — implies the incorporation of amino acids in an order dictated by the genetic information. Control of the Expression of Genes at the Level of Transcription: In addition to the adaptation mechanisms operating in the cells in response to changes in environmental conditions, […]

In this article we will discuss about the two main types of general reactions in amino acids, i.e, enzymatic reactions using pyridoxal phosphate as the co-enzyme and deamination. 1. Enzymatic Reactions using Pyridoxal Phosphate as the Co-Enzyme: A number of reactions involving amino acids, like transamination, decarboxylation, elimination of the side chain with maintenance of […]
Metabolism of Sulphur-Containing Amino Acids | Biochemistry
Article Shared by
In this article we will discuss about the metabolism of sulphur-containing amino acids. There are 3 sulphur-containing amino acids, methionine, cysteine and cystine, but since the last two are very easily interconvertible by oxidation-reduction, they may be taken as one. Methionine is an essential amino acid — for rat as well as man – while […]
