Summary Introduction

To review:

The classification of the following sugar pairsintoenantiomers, diastereomers, epimers, or aldose-ketose pair:

a. D-erythrose and D-threose

b. D-glucose and D-mannose

c. D-ribose and L-ribose

d. D-allose and D-galactose

e. D-glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.

Introduction:

Stereoisomers are those compounds thatdiffer only in the arrangement of an atom in their structure. Enantiomers are those type of stereoisomersthat are mirror images of each other. The stereoisomers that are not enantiomers are called diastereomers. Epimers are those diastereomersthatdiffer in the position of a single asymmetric carbon atom.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
