Abstract
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 -amino acids incorporated into proteins. Only these 22 appear in the genetic code of all life. Amino acid are organic compound containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl(-COOH) functional groups along with side chaine(R). Many amino acids contains only carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen but other atoms may be present sulphur such as cystine but some amino acids are aromatics such as phenylalanine or hetrocyclic such as proline (pyrrolidine nucleus), tryptophan (Indole nucleus), histidine (Imidazole nucleus). Therefore amino acid synthesis is the set of biochemical processes or metabolic pathway by which the amino acids are produced. All amino acids are drived from the intermediate glycolysis, citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), or Pentose phosphate pathway. Nitrogen inter the pathway by Glutamate and glutamine. The remaining the essential amino acids obtained from the foods. Therefore the aim of review of amino acid pathway is to focus on the biosynthesis of several amino acids which are essential for the human life.
