Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The compound that results after transamination of alanine should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally
Transamination: The reaction that transfers amino group into
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
