Metabolism of amino acids and derivatives Stable identifier REACT_13.3 Authored D'Eustachio, P, 2003-11-03 Revised D'Eustachio, P, 2010-02-18 Your feedback Let us know what you think of this article (click here) This group of reactions is responsible for: 1) the breakdown of amino acids; 2) the synthesis of urea from ammonia and amino groups generated by amino acid breakdown; 3) the synthesis of the ten amino acids that are not essential components of the human diet; and 4) the synthesis of related nitrogen-containing molecules including carnitine and creatine.
