  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 24, Problem 78P , additional homework tip  1

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 78P , additional homework tip  2

During the catabolism of any amino acid, the first step is the transfer of amino group from an amino acid to form a-keto acid is termed as transamination.
