Introduction: Proteins are very important in living organisms, Over 50% of the dry mass of most cells are proteins. Different proteins can look very different and carry out different functions, however all proteins are made of amino acid subunits. There are about 20 different amino acids that all have a similar structure, however they behave differently from each other because of their different side groups the R group. How proteins are made: Each amino acid has an amino groups NH2 and a carboxylic acid group COOH. Structure of an amino acid. The R...
question arises which is that, why would people spend so much time on a few grams? The answer: because of bioavailability. Bioavailability is the measure of the efficiency of delivery- how much of what is ingested and is actually used for its intended purpose. The most reliable way to deliver specific amino acids is to administer the particular amino acids themselves- by oral use is powdered form. A singular un-bonded amino acid can specifically elevate its level in the general circulation within 15 minutes making it readily available for metabolism at the site where it's needed.
