Ama-amino acid yizinto ezakhiwe nge-hydrogen, i-carbon, i-oxygen ne-nitrogen. Ahlukaniswe ngezinto ezibalulekile, okuyilezo esingenakuzenza futhi okumele zifakwe ekudleni, kanye nokungabalulekile esingakwenza.
Ziyinto edingekayo yezinqubo zomzimba ezithinta umzimba njengokukhula kwemisipha nokululama, ukukhiqizwa kwamandla, ukukhiqizwa kwamahomoni nokusebenza kahle kohlelo lwezinzwa. Kuma-amino acid ajwayelekile angama-20 akha amaprotheni, ama-8 awakwazi ukuhlanganiswa emzimbeni futhi kufanele afakwe ngokudla.
Uma ungumuntu owenza umsebenzi wokuvivinya umzimba kaningi nemishanguzo yokudla ukuze wenze kangcono kulowo msebenzi ngaphandle kokuqondiswa ngongoti wezokudla, kufanele ulawule ukuthi ama-amino acid akho ngamanani afanele.
Eminye imisebenzi yama-amino acid:
»Ukuhlanganiswa kwama-immunoprotein.
»Ukuhlanganiswa kwamaprotheni okwakhiwa: i-collagen, i-elastin, imicu yezicubu ezinesivumelwano.
»Umthombo wamakhalori we-energy metabolism lapho eminye imithombo yamandla inganele, nge-gluconeogenesis.
»Ukuhlanganiswa kwezinto ezisebenzayo ezifana ne-heme group ye-hemoglobin.
»Ukuhlanganiswa kwama-hormone: insulini, ama-catecholamine
»Ukuhlanganiswa kwamaprotheni asebenzayo e-enzymatic: ama-biocatalysts okukhona kwawo okuyimfuneko yokuphila.
Imininingwane yakho mihle kakhulu …… .. ukhohlwe impendulo:
ama-amino acid asetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwamakhemikhali angenayo i-nitrogenous. Ngiyethemba kusiza okuthile
Sawubona, lolu lwazi luyi-chave ……………….
