I'm getting my essential and non-essential aa's mixed up...all NON-essential
amino acids must play some important role, and all essential amino acids
have no role besides protein synthesis.  So can anyone come up with an
essential amino acid that plays an important biological role besides in
protein synthesis? ....sorry for the confusion in my last post.
