Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of a-keto acid formed by the transamination of glycine amino acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing two
Transamination can be defined as a transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a-keto acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of a-keto acid formed by the transamination of phenylalanine amino acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing two functional groups namely amino and carboxylic group. Amino group is attached to the alpha carbon, carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group making them alpha amino acids.
Transamination can be defined as a transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a-keto acid.
