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 […]

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 […]
