What are amino acid supplements?
Amino acid supplements are the mixture of essential amino acids that are not made by our body.
Essential amino acids are histidine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, valine methionine and phenylalanine.
From this 9 amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine are the branched chain amino acids which are most important for muscle recovery and alleviate fatigue.
So,these supplements have mixture of BCAA that is branched chain amino acids made by different processes but mainly fermentation from bacteria and dried and supplied as dry powder or capsule depending on the product.

A) What is the identity of the amino acid? [Write its full name.] B) Match the following points in the titration curve. [In the space beside each description (left), write a number (1-6) corresponding to a specific pH (right).] The amino acid is fully protonated. 1) pH=0.0 PH The amino acid is fully deprotonated....
Choose an amino acid and model a system where this amino acid is used to generate a plasma membrane that is devoid of lipids and solely made of the chosen amino acid. Assume that all membrane proteins are present. Explain your choice of the amino acid and how would this hypothetical membrane be different form the actual plasma membrane.
