Methionine is an important amino acid that helps to initiate translation of messenger RNA by being the first amino acid incorporated into the N-terminal position of all proteins. Methionine is a source of sulfur, required by the body for normal metabolism and growth. Methionine assists the breakdown of fats, helps to detoxify lead and other heavy metals, helps diminish muscle weakness, and prevents brittle hair. Methionine reacts with adenosine triphosphate to contribute to the synthesis of many important substances, including epinephrine and choline.
