Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 45P
When transaminated, the three branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) form compounds that have the characteristic odor of maple syrup. An enzyme known as branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase converts these compounds into their urine smells like maple syrup.
- a. Draw the compounds that smell like maple syrup.
- b. Draw the CoA esters.
- c. Branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase has five coenzymes. Identify them.
- d. Suggest a way to treat maple syrup urine disease.
