We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Amino Acid Synthesis
From Proteopedia
proteopedia linkproteopedia link | - Alpha-Ketoglutarates: glutamate, glutamine, proline, arginine
- Erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan
- Oxaloacetate/aspartate: lysine, asparagine, methionine, threonine, and isoleucine
- Pyruvate: alanine, valine, and leucine
Pyruvate, the result of glycolysis, can feed into both the TCA cycle and fermentation processes. Reactions beginning with either one or two molecules of pyruvate lead to the synthesis of alanine, valine, and leucine.
