Question
Chapter 23, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way by which Argininosuccinic aciduria can be treated should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The urea cycle is a series of biochemical reactions which involve the formation of urea (NH2)2CO from the ammonia (NH3). It is also known as the ornithine cycle. It helps in the excretion of toxic ammonia by converting into urea. This cycle takes place in ureotelic organisms. Argininosuccinase or argininosuccinate lyase or ASL is an enzyme which catalyzes the reversible breakdown of argininosuccinate and produces arginine and fumarate.

By definition, essential amino acids are not synthesized by an organism. Arginine is classified as an essential amino acid in infants, even though it is part of the urea cycle. Explain.
