The degradation of amino-acids

  • Chapter
Der Stickstoffumsatz / Nitrogen Metabolism

Abstract

Amino-acids may (1) be utilised in protein synthesis either by being linked together through the synthesis of peptide bonds or, as now seems less likely, by acting as a nitrogen pool for protein synthesis by some alternative pathway (Street 1949, Wood 1953), (2) undergo degradation to organic acids which function as intermediates in the main sequence of respiratory reactions or are involved in the synthesis of carbohydrates and fats; (3) be involved in the synthesis of other organic nitrogenous compounds; this frequently involves amino-acid degradation despite the fact that the nitrogenous cell constituents ultimately synthesised may be of greater complexity and molecular weight than their amino-acid precursors.
