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.


Enzyme found in gastric juices?

the enzyme found in gastric juice is Pepsinogenand it only works in an acidic environment (hydrochloric acid is in the stomach)then when that enzyme gets mixed with the hydrochloric acid it creates pepsin and pepsin breaks down proteins into amino acid chainsthere are also other enzymes like:HClReninPepsinogenGelatinaseGastric AmylaseGastric Lipase

What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?

Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.


Where does deamination occur?
