Aminoacids in our bodies are naturally produced by Genes only, not by tissues or bones etc. That is what I meant by that statement.
If you know the formulae of those aminoacids, you can produce them artificially in laboratories by using chemicals. You see, each aminoacid as an organic chemical has a chemical formula.
Like for example, our body proteins are made up of 20 kinds of "building blocks" called aminoacids, which are organic compounds each one having an amino group
-NH2, and a carboxyl group -COOH, in the same molecule.
The body proteins have different functions as well. Some proteins are involved in structural or building up of our body parts or organs, some produce enzymes only, some produce only hemoglobin, some put out only antibodies when there is an infection or any form of attack to our body cells.
Specialists like Organic Chemists and Analytical chemists, using special tools study these proteins (Proteomics) and decipher what they basically have in each aminoacid.
Our body has H2O or water in it. We can artificially produce water out side our body in lab. Do you agree?
Or do you think the water can come only from natural resources?
This is the reason, genomics and proteomics is very important more than ever. They have to study all genes, decode their contents, replicate artificially those chemicals they contain, so that our kids would get exactly customized aminoacids, artificially produced for each child, as their body has genes which are damaged and malfunctioning. If those genes are defective or malfunctioning, then they do not produce those aminoacids naturally inside the body for its proper functioning. We may have to supplement them in a very safe way.
Does this answer your question?
