Biosynthesis of aromatic amino acid Vikas Kumar A0999032037

What are Aromatic amino acid? An  aromatic amino acid (AAA ) is an  amino acid  that includes an  aromatic  ring. Among the 20 standard amino acids, the following are aromatic:  phenylalanine ,  tryptophan  and  tyrosine . However, in addition to being aromatic, tyrosine can be classified as a polar amino acid.

Chemical and Physical properties Aromatic amino acid absorbs the ultraviolet light at the wavelength above 250nm and produce fluorescence. Phenylalanine has relatively weak absorbance in comparison to other standard aromatic amino acid, its presence can only be detected if tryptophan and tyrosine are not present. Aromatic Amino Acid are relatively non-polar. Tyrosine is one of the aromatic amino acid with an ionizable side chain.

Biosynthesis of aromatic compound In plants, the shikimate pathway first leads to the formation of  chorismate , which is the precursor of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. These aromatic amino acids are the derivatives of many  secondary metabolites , all essential to a plant's biological functions.

Biosynthesis of Chorismate Chorismate  is the common metabolic precursor to produce aromatic amino acids and their derivatives. and can be further converted into tyrosol via  chorismate  metabolism.
