What does Decarboxylation of pyruvate produces?
decarboxylation means removal of co2 from the reaction
Decarboxylation of an amino acid results in the evolution of carbon dioxide would a gas trap be an accurate measure of decarboxylation?
You would be able to determine if the process were taking place. You would have trouble determining how much was taking place though.
Where does deamination occur in the body?
The process of deamination removes the amino group from an amino acid. The amino part of the amino acid is converted into urea carried by the blood into the kidneys and removed as urine. In human body deamination takes place primarily in the liver, however, glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.
What is removed during decarboxylation?
A carboxyl group in the form of CO2
What are the end products of deamination?
The end products of deamination are ammonia, derived from the amine group, and the remaining carbon skeleton, often classified as a keto acid.
What is pyrodoxal phosphate?
It is the active form of vitamin B6. It acts as a coenzyme in enzymatic reactions, e.g. transamination and deamination reactions.
Which reactions of the citric acid cycle involve oxidation and decarboxylation?
Reaction 3, and 4.
The process by which amino groups -NH2 are removed from proteins is called?
Deamination...... (:
Amino acids must undergo prior to being used for metabolic reactions other than protein synthesis?
oxidative deamination
What is Kolbe decarboxylation?
Kolbe decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide.
What does Decarboxylation of pyruvate produces?
decarboxylation means removal of co2 from the reaction
Where does deamination takes place?
mitochondria
What is decarboxylation of salicylic acid?
Decarboxylation is the process of removing a carboxyl group from a chemical compound. The removal of the COOH and is replaced with a proton.
What will the deamination of amino acids produce?
Deamination of amino acids will result initially in the formation of ammonia. It has a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3.
Of what value is deamination to a microbe?
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.
Deamination of 5-methylcytosine produces?
Thymidine
Decarboxylation of an amino acid results in the evolution of carbon dioxide would a gas trap be an accurate measure of decarboxylation?
You would be able to determine if the process were taking place. You would have trouble determining how much was taking place though.
