The chemical reactions and pathways involving amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of arginine into other compounds, including ornithine. The chemical reactions and pathways involving arginine, 2-amino-5-(carbamimidamido)pentanoic acid. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of amino acids of the glutamine family, comprising arginine, glutamate, glutamine and proline. The chemical reactions and pathways involving ornithine, an amino acid only rarely found in proteins, but which is important in living organisms as an intermediate in the reactions of the urea cycle and in arginine biosynthesis. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of arginine, 2-amino-5-(carbamimidamido)pentanoic acid.
