So essentially, the goal in the breakdown of amino acids is first we have to remove that amino group from that amino acid to form our ammonia. The ammonium ultimately is fed into the urea cycle, and that removes that ammonium from the body and the leftover carbon skeleton that we have left over. After this process occurs, that is used to form energy molecules, and we'll talk about that in electra to come. So this is a two step process by which first we take the amino acid. We undergo a transamination step in which we basically transfer this green group onto a different molecule. We form glutamate.
