Amino Acid metabolism,
in this course Start the Amino Acid Metabolism Course and explore the biochemical pathways that govern the breakdown, synthesis, and transformation of amino acids in the body. In this course, we will learn about essential and non-essential amino acids, transamination and deamination reactions, the urea cycle, and how amino acids contribute to energy production. You'll understand how specific amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, methionine, and tryptophan are metabolized and how their pathways influence hormone synthesis, neurotransmitters, and detoxification. We’ll also cover the differences between glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids and the significance of branched-chain amino acids. Additionally, the course highlights clinical disorders like phenylketonuria and maple syrup urine disease. This course is ideal for biology, biochemistry, or medical students who want a deep understanding of protein metabolism. Let’s begin our journey into the world of amino acid metabolism. Bio science
