Chapter 25.3, Problem 25.4P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of α-ketoacid formed from the given reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • Transamination of amino acid is the reaction in which amino group is converted to keto acid and formation of a new amino acid takes place.
  • The reaction is the interchange of amino group from given amino acid with the keto group from α-ketoglutarate. During transamination reaction α-ketoglutarate gives glutamate as the product. The product from the amino acid is the keto group.
  • Oxidative deamination is the removal of NH3+ and H group bonded to αcarbon and replacing them by a C=O gives the desired α-ketoacid.
