Phenylketonuria - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Decarboxylation Reaction and Biogenic Amines in Amino Acid Metabolism

Decarboxylation is a crucial reaction in amino acid metabolism where CO2 is removed to form biogenic amines, catalyzed by decarboxylase enzymes. Important biogenic amines include tyramine, tryptamine, and histamine, each impacting physiological functions like blood pressure regulation. Aromatic amin

Understanding Paper and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) in Biochemistry

Chromatography techniques are used in laboratories to separate and identify components of mixtures. Paper chromatography is a type where a developing solution travels up a filter paper, separating compounds based on their affinity to the stationary phase. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a similar
