(a)
Interpretation: To characterize
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
A biochemical reaction in which an
A general oxidative deamination reaction is as follows:
(a)
Answer to Problem 26.45EP
Explanation of Solution
In both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
(b)
Interpretation: To characterize glutamate as a possible reactant, product, or enzyme involved in transamination, oxidative deamination, or both transamination and oxidative deamination.
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
A biochemical reaction in which an
A general oxidative deamination reaction is as follows:
(b)
Answer to Problem 26.45EP
Glutamate acts as a reactant in both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction.
Explanation of Solution
In both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
Glutamate is an amino acid thus acts as a reactant in both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction to give corresponding keto acid
(c)
Interpretation: To characterize glutamate dehydrogenase as a possible reactant, product, or enzyme involved in transamination, oxidative deamination, or both transamination and oxidative deamination.
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
A biochemical reaction in which an
A general oxidative deamination reaction is as follows:
(c)
Answer to Problem 26.45EP
Glutamate dehydrogenase is the enzyme involved in the oxidative deamination reaction of glutamate to give
Explanation of Solution
Oxidative deamination reaction of glutamate requires dehydrogenase enzyme. It is an oxidoreductase enzyme and works with either
(d)
Interpretation: To characterize
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
A biochemical reaction in which an
A general oxidative deamination reaction is as follows:
(d)
Answer to Problem 26.45EP
The ammonium ion is one of the products obtained in oxidative deamination reaction of glutamate.
Explanation of Solution
Glutamate is an
The ammonium ion formed is toxic if build up in the body. Ammonium ion acts as the “nitrogen carrier” for further reactions.
