Lysine is an essential amino acid. Lysine is not synthesized in animals, hence it must be ingested as lysine or lysine-containing proteins. In plants and most the bacteria, lysine is synthesized from aspartic acid (aspartate). This video is about the Biosynthesis of lysine, that occurs in plants and bacteria from aspartate.
