Abstract
In the highly informative and thorough Biochemistry of the Amino Acids by Meister, a steeply rising curve is presented, plotting the total number of new amino acids reported from about 1810 to the 1960’s.(1) The accretion of knowledge of amino acid metabolism probably follows a similar curve and has made it necessary for most writers on the subject, even in the relatively limited area of application to the nervous system, to confine their description and discussion to convenient fragments. For this reason this section will deal only with selected aliphatic amino acids confining attention to alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, serine, threonine, leucine, iso-leucine, valine, proline, hydroxyproline, arginine, and some related derivatives. The other amino acids are dealt with in appropriate sections of this handbook. For guidance and instruction the writer has leaned heavily on certain reviews. Foremost among these is the aforementioned authoritative text by Meister.(1) Other important sources include The Enzymes, edited by Boyer, Lardy, and Myrbäck, Amino Acid Pools, edited by Holden; Protein and Amino Acid Nutrition, edited by A. A. Albanese; New Methods of Nutritional Biochemistry, edited by A. A. Albanese; and Mammalian Protein Metabolism, edited by H. N. Munro and J. B. Allison.
