The process of transfer of amino group from one amino acid to the keto group of a keto acid is called as (a) oxidative amination (b) reductive amination (c) transamination (d) deamination
What is the structure of the $\alpha$ -keto acid formed from transamination of the following amino acids? (a) Glutamic acid (b) Alanine
Describe the reactions of transamination, oxidative deamination, and the entry of amino acid carbons into the citric acid cycle. Draw the condensed structural formula for the $\alpha$ -keto acid produced from each of the following in transamination: $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ $\mathrm{I}$ $\mathrm{a} . \mathrm{H}-\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ Glycine $$_{1}^{+} \mathrm{N}_{3}$$ b. $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ Alanine
