Why might it be a bad idea to take large quantities of a single amino acid dietary supplement?

Determine how many ATPs you would make if you consumed a tetrapeptide comprised of leucine, histidine, valine, and lysine. Have each member of your group take one of the four amino acids and determine the number of ATPs their amino acid would make and combine them to get the total.

Excess nitrogen in the body can form uric acid crystals responsible for the painful condition called gout. Besides proteins, name a biomolecule synthesized in the body that uses nitrogen.
