What to Know. What is the Metabolic Fate of Ammonium?. How is Escherichia coli Glutamine Synthetase regulated?. Understand general ways that organisms synthesize amino acids. Know the definition of essential versus nonessential amino acids. 1. . Overview. The catabolism of the amino acids involves:. Removal of α-amino groups. . Breakdown of the resulting carbon skeletons.. The resulting compounds will be used to form seven intermediate products: . UNIT IV:. Nitrogen Metabolism. Part . 3. Neonatal screening and diagnosis of PKU: . Early . diagnosis of phenylketonuria is important because the disease is treatable by dietary means. . Because of the lack of neonatal symptoms, laboratory testing for elevated blood levels of phenylalanine is mandatory for detection. . Learning Objectives :. 1.
