Amino Acid Metabolism

Q1: An example of a transamination process is

A glutamate = hexanoic acid + NH3

B aspartate + hexanoic acid = glutamate + oxaloacetate

C aspartate + α ketoglutarate = glutamate + oxaloacetate

D glutamate = α-ketoglutarate + NH3

ANS:C - aspartate + α ketoglutarate = glutamate + oxaloacetate

In transamination, the alpha amino group is transferred to one amino acid to one keto acid and new amino acid is formed.
