Essential Amino Acid Metabolism Rap

De novo
No way
Hose
You must ingest or you might pass away
H, I, F, K, L, M, R, T, W, V,
What you know bout me

I dont want you to get PKU
No I dont and neither do you
Believe me believe me
Tyrosine cant be made from phenylalanine
Detect early with HPLC
Monitor your diet and forget about the cheese oh please
and while we on the subject forget about meat

Nitrogen balance is where it be
What you ingest, yea you must excrete
Urea cycle is quite the beast
Amino acids converted to pee

tyrosine can be made from phenylalanine

[TScottT86]

correct... but not in persons with the genetic disorder PKU

phenylalanine builds up in high concentrations and can cause mental defects bc it can't be converted to tyrosine...

converted to pee....ha

@buzol157 I cant have phenylalanine

[buzol157]

@rumblingc Every human being needs all kinds of amino acids. Non essential just means, that you don't have to eat them and your body can create them for you (from other amino acids or glucose)

[rumblingc]

Can people with PKU have non essential Amino acids
