STUDY OF THE QUALITATIVE COMPOSITION AND DETERMINATION OF THE QUANTITATIVE CONTENT OF AMINO ACIDS IN MEDICINAL PLANT MATERIALS OF SOLANUM TUBEROSUM L.

Abstract

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins that play a key role in cell function, metabolism, growth and development of organisms. In the plant organism, amino acids are not only components of proteins, but also active participants in metabolic and adaptogenic processes; they participate in the synthesis of hormones and enzymes, and perform a number of other important functions. In this regard, the study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of amino acids in plant objects provides an opportunity to better understand physiological and biochemical processes, to assess the biological value of amino acids, to determine the optimal ways of using plant materials in human nutrition and for the needs of medicine and pharmacy.
