Study Notes
Amino Acid Classification
- Nonessential: Alanine, Asparagine, Aspartate, Glutamate, Serine, Glycine, Proline, Tyrosine
- Conditionally essential: Arginine, Cysteine, Glutamine
- Essential: Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine
Notes
- Some amino acids are considered conditionally essential because they are normally not required, but in young, growing animals or during illness, they are.
