Chapter 26, Problem 26.42EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the two reactants used in the further processing of glutamate via a glutamate-oxaloacetate transamination.

Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an α-amino acid with a keto group of an α-keto acid. There occurs no net loss or gain of amino acid in transamination reaction. The general reaction to illustrate transamination is as follows:

These two reactions appear to start with the same starting materials but result in different products.  How do the chemicals know which product to form?  Are both products formed, or is there some information missing that will direct them a particular way?
