Amino Acids
A Comprehensive Study on Amino Acids
Role of Amino Acids in Protein Synthesis and Metabolism
Essential to the
production of proteins are amino acids. This process creates
proteins, which are necessary for the structure and operation of the
body's cells, by joining amino acids in a certain order. Amino acids
play a number of roles in metabolic processes in addition to their
role in protein synthesis. For example, the body can use some amino
acids to make fat or glucose, which gives it energy.
