If a protein is being made in a cell and an essential amino acid is not available in the amino acid pool, what happens?
Homework Answers
During protein synthesis, if an essential amino acid is missing in the amino acid pool, then the body could break down some other protein in the body so that the need for the missing essential amino acid is fulfilled. If the essential amino acid is unavailable completely, then the protein synthesis will be stopped.
If a non-essential amino acid is unavailable during protein synthesis, then the body could either make it by itself or get it from liver.
hope the answer helps.

Once in the body, amino acids are absorbed by our cells and enter the amino acid pool. From here, a cell will draw from the pool to assemble the proteins it needs at that specific time. What will happen if one or more of the essential amino acids are missing?

Site-directed mutagenesis replaces a specific amino acid in a protein with a different amino acid, and this approach is commonly used by biochemists to determine if an amino acid is essential for a protein’s function and probe that residue’s role in that function. Which of each pair of amino acid substitutions listed below would you expect to disrupt protein structure the most? Explain. a. Gln replaced by Glu or Asn b. Lys replaced with Asp or Arg c. Thr replaced...
