The amino acid aspartate (aspartic acid; abbreviations Asp in the three-letter code and D in the one-letter code) is a proteinogenic amino acid (used to form proteins) with a COOH group in the side chain. It belongs to the acidic amino acids. Only the L-configuration of the amino acid has a biological effect in the … Aspartate: Definition, Synthesis, Absorption, Transport, and Distribution
The following are the effects of aspartate on humans that are considered certain based on relevant literature. Aspartate Is a building block for structural and functional proteins in the body. Is starting substance for the formation of non-essential amino acids. Acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Is an energy substrate for the cells of … Aspartate: Functions
The amino acid cysteine (abbreviations Cys in the three-letter code and C in the one-letter code) is a proteinogenic amino acid (used to form proteins) with a sulfur atom in the side chain. It is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids. Only the L-configuration of the amino acid has a biological effect in the human … Cysteine: Definition, Synthesis, Absorption, Transport, and Distribution
Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. The name derived from the Greek (“proteios”; first-rate and significant) emphasizes the importance of this group of substances: proteins assume a key function in almost all biological processes of the human body as scaffolding substances or in the form of numerous enzymatic systems. The human body is able … Amino Acids: Building Blocks of Proteins
The amino acid arginine (abbreviations Arg in the three-letter code and R in the one-letter code) is a proteinogenic amino acid (used to form proteins) with a guanidino group in the side chain. It belongs to the basic amino acids and is the most nitrogen-rich amino acid with 4 N atoms. Only the L-configuration of … Arginine: Definition, Synthesis, Absorption, Transport, and Distribution
The amino acid arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. For newborns, the amino acid arginine is essential, because at this age of life, its own production is not yet possible. Adult humans can produce it in the body, which means that arginine is not essential for adults. Arginine is involved in numerous bodily functions. Among … Arginine: Functions
Interactions of arginine with other micronutrients (vital substances): Ornithine Arginine is rapidly converted to ornithine in the body, and vice versa. Therefore, arginine can be replaced to a large extent by ornithine. Caution!Additional arginine administration should be divided into several small portions, if possible, because larger doses can have a dehydrating effect. Glutamine In the … Arginine: Interactions
Intake recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) are not yet available for arginine. Arginine content – given in mg – per 100 g of food. Cereal products Fruit Fish Wheat 620 Apple 8 Hake 1.070 Oats 850 Peach 17 Sole 1.140 Buckwheat 970 Strawberry 37 Plaice 1.150 Tangerine 44 Banana 54 Mackerel 1.160 Seeds … Arginine: Food
Essential (vital) amino acids are necessary building blocks of proteins and must be obtained from the diet because the human body does not have adequate self-synthesis. Essential amino acids include: Histidine* Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Threonine Tryptophan Valine Amino acids not only have great importance as building blocks of proteins, but also serve as … Essential Amino Acids
The amino acid glutamine (abbreviations Gln in the three-letter code and Q in the one-letter code) is a proteinogenic amino acid (used to form proteins) with an uncharged side chain. It is one of the neutral amino acids. Only the L-configuration of the amino acid has a biological effect in the human body. Glutamine can … Glutamine: Definition, Synthesis, Absorption, Transport, and Distribution
Glutamine can be produced from other precursors by the human body itself and is thus assigned to the semi-essential amino acids. However, the body must absorb the largest proportion of glutamine with food in the form of glutamic acid. Compared to the other free amino acids, glutamine is the most abundant in the human organism … Glutamine: Functions
