The Biosynthesis of Amino Acids in Plants

  • Chapter
Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Amino Acids

Abstract

In the previous chapter, Bender has given a very detailed description of the metabolism of amino acids in humans. It is well known that animals are unable to synthesize the ‘essential’ amino acids, and most rely upon a continuous supply provided in their diet. Despite attempts by a number of industrial companies to provide a cheap supply of protein from bacterial and fungal cells, by far the most important source of essential amino acids for all animals including humans, is the plant kingdom.
