[Evolutionary patterns of the loss of amino acid biosynthesis in animals].

Abstract excerpt

Amino acids, which synthesis was lost during animal evolution, exhibit some common physico-chemical features. These amino acids are presented by the largest molecules with the lowest density of packing of their material, the highest relative content of carbon and hydrogen, etc. It is suggested that during evolution there appeared living organisms which lacked the ability to produce various amino acids; however,...
