The absorption rates of individual amino acids are highly dependent on the protein source; for example, the digestibilities of many amino acids in humans, the difference between soy and milk proteins [32] and between individual milk proteins, beta-lactoglobulin and casein. [33]
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 ...
Organic acidemia is a term used to classify a group of metabolic disorders which disrupt normal amino acid metabolism, particularly branched-chain amino acids, causing a buildup of acids which are usually not present. [1] The branched-chain amino acids include isoleucine, leucine and valine. [1]

The incorporation of these nonstandard amino acids is rare. For example, 25 human proteins include selenocysteine in their primary structure, [64] and the structurally characterized enzymes (selenoenzymes) employ selenocysteine as the catalytic moiety in their active sites. [65] Pyrrolysine and selenocysteine are encoded via variant codons.
Niacin deficiency is a consequence of a diet low in both niacin and the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor for the vitamin. Low plasma tryptophan is a non-specific indicator, meaning it can have other causes. The signs and symptoms of niacin deficiency start to revert within days of oral supplementation with large amounts of the vitamin. [23] [24]
