Chapter 24, Problem 73P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of a-keto acid formed by the transamination of glycine amino acid should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing two functional groups namely amino and carboxylic group. Amino group is attached to the alpha carbon, carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group making them alpha amino acids.

  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 24, Problem 73P , additional homework tip  1

Transamination can be defined as a transfer of amino group from an amino acid to a-keto acid.

Interpretation Introduction
