GOB Chemistry
Which of the following best describes the difference between oxidative deamination and transamination?
Draw the structure of the α-keto acid produced from phenylalanine through transamination.
Provide the α-keto acid formed from the oxidative deamination of the amino acid alanine (Ala).
Branched-chain amino acids are primarily metabolized in tissues outside the liver. Isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid. Provide the equation for its transamination.
