Why is the amine group of an amino acid toxic to cells?
The amino group of an amino acid contains the elements Nitrogen and Hydrogen. By itself, it is not toxic to cells. But after deamination where the amino group is removed from the amino acid, the amino group is then converted into ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to cells, and also contains Nitrogen and Hydrogen, but it has a different chemical formula from the amino group.
