Why lysine and threonin do not undergo transamination?

L-lysine does not participate in transamination. It is the exception to the general rule that the first step in catabolism of an amino acid is the removal of its alpha- amino group by transamination to form the respective alpha-keto acid


What type of reaction is aspartic acid plus α-ketoglutaric acid equals glutamic acid plus oxaloacetic acid?

This reaction is a transamination reaction, where the amino group from aspartic acid is transferred to α-ketoglutaric acid to form glutamic acid and oxaloacetic acid. Transamination reactions are important for amino acid metabolism and synthesis.

What factor do enzymes play in controlling reactions in metabolic pathways?

Enzymes act as catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in metabolic pathways by lowering the activation energy required for the reactions to occur. They are specific to the substrates they interact with, allowing for precise control and regulation of metabolic processes. Enzymes can be turned on or off in response to cellular signals, helping to maintain metabolic balance in the cell.
