Summary Introduction
To review:
The outlines of interconversions of 2-oxoglutarate, glutamate, and glutamine that provide nitrogen in amino acid biosynthesis.
Introduction:
An amino acid biosynthesis is a group of biological processes through which amino acids are produced. Not all amino acids can be synthesized inside the body, some will be produced by the food or given growth media. Out of 20 different amino acids, human beings are able to produce only 11 amino acids.
