Talk:Essential amino acid/Archive 2

arginine biosynthesis + mnemnonic
ornithine biosythnesis in mammals competes with proline biosynthesis

alpha keto glutarate + NH4+ --> glutamate --> gamma glutamyl phosphate --> glutamyl semialdehyde --> ornithine

(comapared to alpha keto glutarate + NH4+ --> glutamate --> gamma glutamyl phosphate --> glutamyl semialdehyde --[non enzymatic schiff base formation]--> delta- pyrroline 5 carboxylate --> proline + CO2

in plants, you add an acetyl blocking group to avoid competition with proline

conclusion; ornithine, and therefore arginine can be biosynthesized from scratch. the only problem is that infants have trouble synthesizing enough... so for kids, arginine is essential amino acid

i'd like to take up a complaint with the mnemnonic provided... its too misleading; a better one would have to based on the official amino acid single letter designation i.e.

MLKR HIV WTF

ya. thats lame, i know... but it will get me through my biochem final next week

my point is, find a better mnemnonic... using simply the first letter of each amino acid is too confusing... there are many amino acids beginning with the same letter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.192.110.166 (talk)
