and amino acids at the cellular level step by step in a scheme you
have created yourself. Entering, exiting, taking part etc. in all
steps. specify all components

acids, and amino acids during the fasted (basal) state. Be specific
by including the liver, brain, RBC, muscle adipose tissue, and
kidney?

\Match the following descriptions with the corresponding amino
acids:
This amino acid is responsible for the strength of rhino horns
and wood lignin due to the strong hydrophobic interactions between
them.
Subtle decreases in the serum pH lead to the protonation of this
amino acid, which promotes O2 release from hemoglobin.
This amino acid is the nucleophile chymotrypsin uses to attack
peptide bonds.
This amino acid disrupts α-helices because it makes the nearby
protein backbone too flexible (and prevents proper...
