Proteins Metabolism

Protein metabolism is a biochemical processes responsible for the catabolism of proteins and anabolism  of proteins from amino acids (breakdown and formed). Proteins are the main tissue builders in the body. It helps in structure, functions, hemoglobin formation to carry oxygen, enzymes to carry out vital reactions of a cell and innumerable functions in the body. It helps in maintenance of proper PH and fluid balance. The best quality protein foods are eggs, milk, soybeans, meats, vegetables, and grains. They are necessary for nutrition because they contain amino acids. Among the 20 amino acids, the human body is unable to synthesize  8 and these are called essential aminoacids. The essential aminoacids include: Isoleucine, Lysine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Tryptophan, Methionine, Valine.
