Chapter 18, Problem 1P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw and name: The structure of α-keto acid which results from the transamination reaction of α-ketoglutarate with aspartate.

Introduction:

The α-amino acid is transferred to the a-carbon atom of α-ketoglutarate and leaves behind the corresponding α-keto acid is known as transamination reaction. This transfer of amino group is through the enzymes known as transferases or transaminases.
