Chapter 17 – Amino Acid Metabolism
... Although the biosynthesis of specific amino acids is diverse, they all share a common feature carbon skeletons come from intermediates of glycolysis, PPP, or citric acid cycle. There are only six biosynthetic families: 1) Derived from oxaloacetate --> Asp, Asn, Met, Thr, Ile, Lys 2) Drived from pyru ...
