Amino Acid Synthesis

Alpha-Ketoglutarates: glutamate, glutamine, proline, arginine Erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan Oxaloacetate/aspartate: lysine, asparagine, methionine, threonine, and isoleucine Pyruvate: alanine, valine, and leucine Pyruvate, the result of glycolysis, can feed into both the TCA cycle and fermentation processes. Reactions beginning with either one or two molecules of pyruvate lead to the synthesis of alanine, valine, and leucine.
