Chapter 23, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Concept introduction:

Transamination is also known as an amino transfer. It is a chemical reaction that takes place between two molecules. One is an amino acid that contains an amine or -NH2 group and the other is a keto acid having a keto (=O) group. Pyridoxal phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6. It is a coenzyme in most of the enzymatic reactions and transamination reactions.

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?
