Beta-Alanine and Carnosine Biosynthesis

The video tutorial explains beta alanine, a beta amino acid, and its unique synthesis in humans. It highlights its role in skeletal muscle as a buffer, particularly during exercise, and discusses its synthesis through a reductive pathway. The tutorial also covers the formation of carnosine, a dipeptide with significant buffering capacity, and the potential benefits of beta alanine supplementation for exercise performance.
