Concept Introduction:
Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is a coenzyme. PLP is used in different reactions of amino acids. The transamination reaction of amino acid takes place in presence of PLP. PLP contain an
(b)
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow mechanism for the decarboxylation reaction of A to form new imine intermediate X is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is a coenzyme. PLP is used in different reactions of amino acids. The transamination reaction of amino acid takes place in presence of PLP. PLP contain an aldehyde group which reacts with amino acid to form imine.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
