This is some heavy duty biochemistry but is extremely educational when fully comprehended. This article extracts truth from nearly all of the credible protein/amino acid supplementation research studies that have been conducted.
In enzymology, an L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) (EC 1.4.3.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:an L-amino acid + H2O + O2↔ a 2-oxo acid + NH3 + H2O2. The enzyme was first described in 1944 by A. Zeller and A. Maritz. Not only are LAAOs quite variable in terms of molecular mass, l amino acid oxidase
