Chapter 24, Problem 24.47E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidative deamination reaction of asparagine is to be completed.

Concept introduction:

In transamination reaction, an amino group is transferred to an α-keto acid and forms a new amino acid. In deamination reaction, an amine group is removed as ammonia. The deamination process allows the system to convert excess amino acid into usable resources.
