Chapter 25.3, Problem 25.6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three amino acids with branched-chain R groups that are broken down in tissues has to be identified and equation for its transamination for any one of the amino acids has to be written.

Concept introduction:

  • Transamination of amino acid is the reaction in which amino group is converted to keto acid and formation of a new amino acid takes place.
  • The reaction is the interchange of amino group from given amino acid with the keto group from α-ketoglutarate. During transamination reaction α-ketoglutarate gives glutamate as the product. The product from the amino acid is the keto group.
  • Oxidative deamination is the removal of NH4+ bonded to αcarbon and replacing them by a C=O gives the desired α-ketoacid.
