What is the difference between arginine and L-Arginine?
L-Arginine is just a higher dose or what is the difference? Do they both do the same in the body?
Arginine is an amino acid that is synthesized in the urea cycle in adults, and is an essential nutrient required in infants. The form of L-arginine is one of the most common 20 amino acids. To understand the L-form, you need to understand the chirality. A symmetry molecules determines their nature chemically chiral. Basically, a molecule is chiral if it can not overlap with its mirror image. Chiral molecules can be given different names / forms depending on its configuration. As such, the L-arginine is an isomer Optical whereby the NH2 and COOH groups are organized in the way anti-clockwise from hydrogen (if it was right, it would be in the form D). Like enzymes of amino acid structure may affect its function, especially if it is to fit a particular form of the protein. For example, this could affect spatial measurements of a protein, thereby possibly alter the function of the protein. Hope this helps a little, I put on the website for the chirality on wikipedia to help! All the best
