Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products obtained during transamination of serine (an amino acid) with a-ketoglutarate should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as amino acid. The general formula of an amino acid is as follows:

Interpretation:
The products obtained during transamination of methionine (an amino acid) with a-ketoglutarate should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The organic compound that is composed of amino group and carboxylic group along with an organic chain is known as amino acid.
(c)
Interpretation:
