Textbook Question
Chapter 16.8, Problem CQ
The given mechanism of transamination reaction is shown below,
What is the role of the pyridinium group in Step D?
- 1. It acts as an electron-donating group (source) of electrons to enhance deprotonation of the amino acid by the enzyme.
- 2. It acts as an electron-withdrawing group (sink) to facilitate deprotonation of the amino acid.
- 3. It plays the role of a Lewis base to coordinate the amino acid.
- 4. Both 2 and 3 are true.

Some important notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are enantiomers.
