J Biosci. 2009 Dec;34(6):853-72. A weak link in metabolism: the metabolic capacity for glycine biosynthesis does not satisfy the need for collagen synthesis. Meléndez-Hevia E, De Paz-Lugo P, Cornish-Bowden A, Cárdenas ML. In a previous paper, we pointed out that the capability to synthesize glycine from serine is constrained by the stoichiometry of the glycine [...]
