		transamination reaction is not reversible, lysine is an essential amino acid.
		Many amino acids are used to synthesize other molecules, such as tryptophan which is a precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin, and glycine which is one of the reactants in the synthesis of porphyrins such as heme.
		In humans, the essential amino acids are lysine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, and (in children) histidine and arginine.

	L-Glutamine: The Conditionally Essential Amino Acid
		Of the 20 amino acids in our bodies, nine are considered "essential" and the other 11 are termed "non-essential." The essential amino acids need to be obtained from our diet, as opposed to the non-essential ones, which our body can manufacture on its own.
		However, most scientists now consider glutamine to be a "conditionally" essential amino acid, because under certain conditions we are unable to make adequate amounts and thus need to obtain it from outside sources.
		Amino acid transport during muscle contraction and its relevance to exercise.
