Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A structural or functional role for the O-linked saccharide domain in the LDL receptor should be suggested.
Concept Introduction:
The LDL receptor in cell membrane is consisted with 839 amino acid residues and has five domains. Two of them have multiple subdomains. LDL binding domain at the N-terminal has 7 cysteine rich repeats. Other segment contains three epidermal growth factor repeats and ß propeller module. This segment is followed by a 58-residue segment of O-linked oligosaccharides, membrane spanning segment and another 50-residue segment protruding into the cytosol. LDL particle binds to the fourth and fifth cysteine-rich repeats.

Show the complete reaction mechanism for the deamination of alanine until the amino group is transferred to the keto acid acceptor ⍺-ketoglutarate
Please don't provide handwritten solution .....
In the majority of cases, amino acid catabolism can be broken down into a two-stepprocess; ‘transamination’ followed by ‘oxidative deamination’. Serine doesn’t followthis two-step process; fully explain the reaction and mechanism involved in thedegradation process used to form its α-keto acid.
