Deamination is the bodily process in which amino groups are removed from excess proteins. This happens most often in the liver, though it also occurs in the kidneys. Deamination allows the system to convert excess amino acids into usable resources such as hydrogen and carbon. The process also plays a vital role in removing nitrogen waste from the body. Amino groups discarded as a result of the process are converted into ammonia, which is later expelled from the body through urination.

oxidative deamination
Proteins are degraded and recycled by the cell's machinery through the process of protein turnover. Sometimes this is called lysis. Deamination can be used for the break down of amino acids but it is not used in the breakdown of proteins.

mitochondria
Deamination of amino acids will result initially in the formation of ammonia. It has a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3.
Deamination is the removal of an amino group and its value to a microbe is that it allows the amino acid to be used as a carbon and energy source.
Thymidine
Both involve Removal Of Atoms from the reactant. Deamination - Removal of Amino group Decarboxylation - Removal of Carbon dioxide
deamination
Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule. In human body deamination takes place primarily in liver however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.
deamination, the removal of the amino group from an amino acid. This is often accomplished by transamination. The amino group is transferred from an amino acid to an -keto acid acceptor. The organic acid resulting from deamination can be converted to pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, or a TCA cycle intermediate and eventually oxidized in the TCA cycle to release energy. It also can be used as a source of carbon for the synthesis of cell constituents. Excess nitrogen from deamination may be excreted as ammonium ion, thus making the medium alkaline.
