Question
Chapter 1, Problem 52FB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement “The following is an example of a ________________ reaction.”
CH3CH2OH CH2 = CH2 + H2O
Introduction:
Various biochemical reactions occur in a living cell, which proceed by a simple reaction mechanism. Such reactions can be of many type, sucleophilic substitution, elimination, addition, isomerization, and redox (reduction–oxidation) reactions. These reactions are catalyzed by specific enzyme, shichresults in energy production, biosynthesis, or degradation of large compounds.

What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
