What amino acids are obtained from the same metabolic intermediates when the amino acids are synthesized in the laboratory?

Expert Solution
Step 1

There are 20 amino acids formed during the translation process, which involves conversion of messenger RNA into protein. Protein thus formed results in the formation of amino acid.

Out of 20 amino acids, 13 are non-essential amino acid and 7 are essential amino acid. Non-essential amino acids are those amino acids which are not required by the body in form of food as they are synthesized inside the body. On the other hand, essential amino acids are those amino acids which are required by the body in form of food as body does not synthesis those amino acids.
