The synthesis of non-essential amino acids like glutamic acid, aspartic acid, etc. takes place during

The formation or synthesis of molecules is called as anabolic reactions. Glutamic acid is the main amino acid from which the transfer of NH2, the amino group takes place and other amino acids are formed through transamination. The enzyme transaminase catalyzes all such reactions. For example, the two most important amides – asparagine and glutamine – found in plants are a structural part of proteins. They are formed from two amino acids, namely aspartic acid and glutamic acid, respectively, by addition of another amino group to each.
