2. Threonine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threonine

   An essential amino acid, threonine is involved in the metabolism of fats, the creation of proteins, the proliferation and differentiation of embryonic stem cells, and the health and function of the intestines. Animal health and illness are strongly correlated with the need for and metabolism of threonine. Intestinal inflammation and energy ...

3. Essential amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid

   An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized from scratch by the organism fast enough to supply its demand, and must therefore come from the diet. Of the 21 amino acids common to all life forms, the nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine ...

4. Proteinogenic amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinogenic_amino_acid

   The essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine (i.e. H, I, L, K, M, F, T, W, V). [3] The proteinogenic amino acids have been found to be related to the set of amino acids that can be recognized by ribozyme autoaminoacylation systems. [4] Thus, non-proteinogenic ...

5. William Cumming Rose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cumming_Rose

   William Cumming Rose (April 4, 1887 – September 25, 1985) was an American biochemist and nutritionist. He discovered the amino acid threonine, and his research determined the necessity for essential amino acids in diet and the minimum daily requirements of all amino acids for optimal growth. [1][2]

6. Amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

   The last of the 20 common amino acids to be discovered was threonine in 1935 by William Cumming Rose, who also determined the essential amino acids and established the minimum daily requirements of all amino acids for optimal growth. [15] [16] The unity of the chemical category was recognized by Wurtz in 1865, but he gave no particular name to ...

7. Branched-chain amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched-chain_amino_acid

   A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. [1] Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid and alloisoleucine.
