Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing two
Transamination can be defined as a transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a-keto acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of a-keto acid formed by the transamination of phenylalanine amino acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
