One of the 20 amino acids it is used in protein biosynthesis. It is a biochemical precurser to Serotonine, Niacin and Auxin.
Being lactose intolerant or unable to absorb fructose properly results in low uptake of tryptophan and results in depression (no tryptophan, no seratonin).

What are 5 specific enzymes?
Well this is a complicated question, one easy answer would be the salivary amylase, acetyl co enzyme A, B, C, D etc. 1) Each enzyme is specific : here are five out of 5,000 answers - - pyruvate decarboxylase - isocitrate lyase - acetyl-CoA transferase - phosphorylase kinase - tryptophan 2-3-dioxygenase 2) note that all enzyme suffixes are -ase. 3) phosphorylase kinase has two -ases - a nested loop - is an ON switch - phosphorylase phosphatase - also a nested loop - is an OFF switch.
What assembles acids to create proteins?
Proteins are made up of amino acids. There are twenty well known amino acids, and two more were recently synthesized at a university in California. Each protein has an unique length and composition of these amino acids, which is how each protein functions differently. The twenty well known amino acids are: Isoleucine Alanine Leucine Asparagine Lysine Aspartate Methionine Cysteine Phenylalanine Glutamate Threonine Glutamine Tryptophan Glycine Valine Proline Serine Tyrosine Arginine Histidine

What has more tryptophan ham or turkey?
Ham has more tryptophan than turkey.
The tryptophan synthetase operon uses glucose to synthesize tryptophan Repressible operons such as this one are?
turned off whenever tryptophan is added to the growth medium.
Why is the tryptophan operon turned off in the presence of tryptophan?
Tryptophan binds to and activates the repressor proteins; the repressor proteins, in turn, bind to the operator, preventing transcription.
