Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To determine whether oxaloacetate can be converted to aspartate via a transamination reaction or not.
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an α-amino acid with a keto group of an α-keto acid. There occurs no net loss or gain of amino acid in transamination reaction.
During transamination reaction the new keto acid formed has carbon skeleton similar to the carbon skeleton of the reacting amino acid and the new amino acid formed has the carbon skeleton similar to the carbon skeleton of the reacting keto acid.
(b)
Interpretation: To determine whether aspartate can be converted to oxaloacetate via a transamination reaction or not.
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an α-amino acid with a keto group of an α-keto acid. There occurs no net loss or gain of amino acid in transamination reaction.
During transamination reaction the new keto acid formed has carbon skeleton similar to the carbon skeleton of the reacting amino acid and the new amino acid formed has the carbon skeleton similar to the carbon skeleton of the reacting keto acid.
(c)
Interpretation: To determine whether aspartate can be converted to glutamate via a transamination reaction or not.
Concept introduction: Transamination reaction is a biochemical reaction that involves the transfer of an amino group. In transamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an α-amino acid with a keto group of an α-keto acid. There occurs no net loss or gain of amino acid in transamination reaction.

(d)
Interpretation: To determine whether oxaloacetate can be converted to α-ketoglutarate via a transamination reaction or not.
