Another major advantage the catalysts have is that, while they are general in what substrate they can oxidize, they are very specific about which carbon - hydrogen bonds they cut — so much so that they target a certain spot on amino acids like proline, leucine or
valine even when they are part of a much larger peptide chain.
Not exact matches
For one thing, the concentration of some amino acids like arginine and
valine are actually higher in brown rice protein than
even those found in whey.
Surprisingly,
even though pea protein is totally vegan and vegetarian, it has an essential amino acid profile that includes the Branched - Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and
valine, as well as a high content of arginine, lysine, and phenylalanine — all great stuff!
The consequence is that leucine should not be consumed in large amounts without
valine and isoleucine,
even though only leucine promotes protein synthesis.
