Amino acids are the building blocks of all the proteins that are found in our body. Some of these proteins are, in turn, used to make more amino acids or break down amino acids for other uses. Class question: What would happen if we cannot process an amino acid that is needed by our body? Can you describe a disease associated with defects in the amino acid biosynthetic pathway?
