  2. Protein as nutrient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_as_nutrient

    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]

  3. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Nonstandard amino acids are usually formed through modifications to standard amino acids. For example, homocysteine is formed through the transsulfuration pathway or by the demethylation of methionine via the intermediate metabolite S-adenosylmethionine, [114] while hydroxyproline is made by a post translational modification of proline. [115]

    An essential amino acid is an amino acid that is required by an organism but cannot be synthesized de novo by it, and therefore must be supplied in its diet. Out of the twenty standard protein-producing amino acids, nine cannot be endogenously synthesized by humans: phenylalanine , valine , threonine , tryptophan , methionine , leucine ...

  5. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inborn_errors_of_metabolism

    Traditionally the inherited metabolic diseases were classified as disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, or lysosomal storage diseases. [4] In recent decades, hundreds of new inherited disorders of metabolism have been discovered and the categories have proliferated.

  8. Protein combining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_combining

    Protein combining or protein complementing is a dietary theory for protein nutrition that purports to optimize the biological value of protein intake. According to the theory, individual vegetarian and vegan foods may provide an insufficient amount of some essential amino acids, making protein combining with multiple complementary foods necessary to obtain a meal with "complete protein".

  9. Hypoalbuminemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalbuminemia

    Kwashiorkor is a disease of malnutrition characterized by decreased protein intake and amino acid deficiency resulting in hypoalbuminemia and a characteristic physical presentation. This is an extreme example of how malnutrition can result in hypoalbuminemia. [3]
