Methionine is an organic compound, which is composed of essential amino acid One, the molecular formula is C five H eleven O two NS, Optical activity, participation protein synthesis
It cannot be generated in the body itself, so it must be obtained from the outside. If methionine is deficient, protein synthesis in the body will be blocked, causing damage to the body. Overoxidation of membrane lipids caused by oxygen free radicals in vivo is the cause of various damages to the body. lipid peroxide Will damage the primary and Secondary lysosome Membrane, which is used to hydrolyze acid phosphatase Released, it can affect the cells and mitochondrial membrane And other important organelles. Methionine fights against these damages through various ways.

purpose

Announce
edit
It is mainly used as a nutritional supplement. The physiological effect of L-methionine is the same as that of L-methionine, but the price is low (L-methionine is made from DL - methionine), so DL methionine is generally used. It is a restricted amino acid in plant foods such as oats, rye, rice, corn, wheat, peanut flour, soybeans, potatoes, spinach, etc. It is added to the above food to improve the amino acid balance. The requirement varies with the intake of cystine. The adult male requirement is 1.1g/d.
The taste of sea urchins is related to methionine, the sweet taste of sea urchins is related to glycine and alanine, the bitter taste is related to valine, and the fresh taste is related to glutamic acid. Therefore, these amino acids can be formulated as flavoring agents.
It is also used for amino acid infusion and comprehensive amino acid preparation.
It can be used as spice according to GB2760-86.

Methionine is one of α - amino acids containing sulfur. It is a component of protein. There are a lot of ovalbumin and casein, and the L-type is naturally obtained. It is one of the essential amino acids, L type and D type are effective. Or directly remove methyl mercaptan and ammonia, and indirectly decompose into α - ketoacid through homocysteine. The biosynthesis of methionine is from sulfides such as O-acetylhomoserine, or from the reverse pathway of cysteine to homocysteine (so far only appeared on Streptospora), and then to homocysteine by transferring methyl.
These methyl groups are directly transferred by (1) N-highest positive compound (such as betaine), (2) S-highest positive compound (such as thiobetaine), or newly generated by (3) active C1 unit. Moreover, the active methionine itself is also decomposed into homocysteine, which becomes creatine Methyl donors of N-methylnicotinic acid, choline, methyl histidine, etc.
The active methionine also becomes polyamine through decarboxylation, desulfurization and methyl reaction. Another synthesis route is to generate methionine through the transfer of thiomethyl to α - ketobutyric acid. The sulfur in methionine is stable to the base. Cyanogen bromide can cut off the peptide at the methionine residue, so it is often used in the study of amino acid arrangement. Methionine is one of the eight essential amino acids for human body. It cannot be synthesized in human body and must be supplemented by external sources. Methionine combines with ATP to form S-adenosine in human body.
