In cells, some enzymes carry out this conversion of α-keto acids into amino acids. Here, only the D-amino acids are formed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amino acids that are obtained from the reductive amination of given metabolic intermediates in the laboratory should be given.
Concept introduction:
Reductive amination of α-keto acids synthesize amino acids, in which conversion of α-keto group into an amine group is taking place.
In laboratory, racemic mixture (both D and L-amino acids in equal amounts) of amino acids are formed.

What is Goldbeater’s test and the Principle involved ?arrow_forwardGlucoe+Fructose -> H2O The Delta G =6.8 What I True About This Reaction? A)Reaction Is Catabolic B)The Reactants Have More Free Energy Than The Products C) The Reaction Is Non-Spontaneous D)The Reaction Is A Hydrolysis Reactionarrow_forwardSoy sauce is prepared by fermenting a salted mixture of soybeans and wheat with severalmicroorganisms, including yeast, over a period of 8 to 12 months. The resulting sauce (aftersolids are removed) is rich in lactate and ethanol. How are these two compounds produced? Toprevent the soy sauce from having a strong vinegar taste (vinegar is dilute acetic acid), oxygenmust be kept out of the fermentation tank. Why?arrow_forward

Can you suggest a method for this conversion?arrow_forwardWhat is the product of the reaction of maleate and H2O when H2SO4 is used as a catalyst instead of fumarase?arrow_forwardWhy does the OH group add to the b-carbon rather than to the α-carbon in the second reaction in the β-oxidation of fats?arrow_forward
- Linoleic acid is shown below. What makes this fatty acid particularly susceptible to autoxidation? 1. The red CH bond has a low bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 2. The red CH bond has a high bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 3. The red CH bond is the most accessible to reaction with O2 because it is the least sterically crowded CH bond. 4.

Give a suitable example.arrow_forwardStearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.arrow_forward
