Chapter 14, Problem 14.52AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure disulfides should be identified when the amino acid cysteine undergoes oxidation.

Concept introduction:

Thiols:

The general structure of thiol is R-SH, and it is also called as thioalcohols or mercaptans.

Oxidation of thiols:

Thiol undergoes oxidation using O2 (mild oxidizing agents) or Br2 (mild oxidizing agents) which yields disulfides (RS-SR). During the oxidation reaction two thiols are joining together, and a new bond forms between the two sulfur atoms.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you 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?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
