A condition or process related to the presence or activity of amino acids or amino groups in biological systems.
From amino- (derived from ammonia via French amine) + -osis (a Greek medical suffix meaning condition or disease). This term bridges chemistry and medicine.
While aminosis isn't commonly used in modern medicine, it represents how scientists try to name every chemical process happening in your body—and there are thousands of them happening right now.
