Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.12UKC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Fates of the carbon and nitrogen atom in a catabolized amino acid has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Each amino acid is catabolized by a peculiar pathway, but the general sequence involves (a) Removal of amino group
(b) Use of the removed
(c) Passage of nitrogen into urea cycle and
(d) Incorporation of the carbon atoms into that can enter the citric acid cycle.
