Amino acid dehydrogenases catalyze oxidative deamination or reductive amination between amino acids and their corresponding α-keto acids. Through NAD(H), NADP(H), or flavin cofactors, these enzymes connect nitrogen metabolism, central carbon metabolism, and cellular redox status. They are also ...

Nitrogen assimilation converts nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium into glutamine and glutamate, thereby supplying nitrogen for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleotides, and other nitrogen-containing compounds. Different key enzymes have clearly defined roles in substrate affinity, energy ...

Amino acid metabolism follows a core logic of “amino-group transfer—deamination release/assimilation—carbon-skeleton recovery—resynthesis and allocation”, spanning protein turnover, energy metabolism, and nitrogen homeostasis.
