Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Products formed after removal of amino group from methionine have to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Acetyl CoA formation is the second stage for energy production. In this stage, monosaccharides, amino acids, and fatty acids are reduced to form two carbon unit. This two carbon unit is bonded to coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA.

Amino acid produced from first stage is converted to α-keto acid that finally converted into acetyl CoA. This acetyl CoA is utilized in citric acid cycle. The reaction for formation of α-keto acid is as follows:
