Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.39AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Disorder with abbreviation PKU has to be identified and symptoms of PKU and treatment for it has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are nutritionally classified into three groups,
- Nonessential amino acids
- Conditional amino acids
- Essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids are those in which our body cannot produce them through the biochemical machinery we possess therefore it must be consumed through the food we eat.
- Phenylketonuria is the failure to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine.

Please help. Thank you
What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
