Answer to Problem 26.45EP
Glutamate acts as a reactant in both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction.
Explanation of Solution
In both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction exchange of an amino group from an
Glutamate is an amino acid thus acts as a reactant in both transamination and oxidative deamination reaction to give corresponding keto acid

Answer to Problem 26.45EP
The ammonium ion is one of the products obtained in oxidative deamination reaction of glutamate.
Explanation of Solution
Glutamate is an
The ammonium ion formed is toxic if build up in the body. Ammonium ion acts as the “nitrogen carrier” for further reactions.
