the body doesn't store amino acids because they are fastly utilised by the body in making energy for the body. they get used up as soon as they are broken down into simpler substances

Hi friend,
•Amino acids are there in the body but not in excess.
•The same reason why excess glucose molecules are stored as glycogen.
•Similarly, excess fatty acids are tucked away as TAG.
•It seems quite problematic to put excess AA into proteins in a random fashion.
•Because this will surely lead to insoluble protein aggregates or soluble proteins with unwanted functions.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))
