Difference between Leucine and Phenylketonuria

Leucine vs. Phenylketonuria

Leucine (symbol Leu or L) is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in decreased metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine.

Similarities between Leucine and Phenylketonuria

Leucine and Phenylketonuria have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Diet (nutrition), Isoleucine, Maize, National Academy of Medicine, Soybean, Transaminase, Valine.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
