| Phenylketonueria(PKU) | Guthrie test, ferric chloride test |
| Tyrosyluria | 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid deficiency, tyrosine and leucine crystals in urine, Nitroso-Napthol test |
| Melanuria | Increased urinary melanin, indicates overproliferation of melanocytes producing a malignant melanoma |

| Phenylalanine cannot be converted to anything | PKU |
| Phenylalanine is converted to Tyrosine and stops | Tyrosinuria |
| Phenylalanine is converted to Tyrosine, then goes to another pathway to produce Melanine producing too much melanine | Melanuria |
| Phenylalanine is converted to Tyrosine, then converted to Homogentisic acid, stops. | Alkaptonuria |
| Normally, Tryptophan is converted to... | Indole |
| Indicanuria | intestinal disorders increase amounts of tryptophan are converted to excess indole and indican |
| what is 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid | degradation product of serotonin produced from tryptophan |
| elevated level of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid | produced by excess serotonin, argentaffin tumors |
| elevated level of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid | nitrous acid and 1-nitroso-2-naphtol in urine produces purple to black color |
| What kinds of food contain serotonin? | bananas, pinapples, tomatoes |
