«Arginine, also known as L-arginine (symbol Arg or R)[1], is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.[2] It contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain consisting of a 3-carbon aliphatic straight chain ending in a guanidino group. At physiological pH, the carboxylic acid is deprotonated (−COO−), the amino group is protonated (−NH3+), and the guanidino group is also protonated to give the guanidinium form (-C-(NH2)2+), making arginine a charged, aliphatic amino acid.[3] It is the precursor for the biosynthesis of nitric oxide. It is encoded by the codons CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG.
In humans, arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual.[4] Preterm infants are unable to synthesize or create arginine internally, making the amino acid nutritionally essential for them.[5] Most healthy people do not need to supplement with arginine because it is a component of all protein-containing foods[6] and can be synthesized in the body from glutamine via citrulline.[7]» (wikipedia)
