Paper Chromatography of Transamination Reactants

Deamination

________ occurs when an oxidase converts an amino acid to a keto or oxo acid.

transamination process

The ________, which is completed by the transaminase, transforms oxoacids into amino acids by removing the double bonded oxygen from the acid and replacing it with an amino group.

pyridoxal phosphate

When transaminase utilizes ammonia and hydrogen peroxide to convert ________ to pyridoxamine phosphate, this is an example of transamination.

phosphate oxidase

When pyridoxamine ________ uses oxygen and water to convert pyridoxamine phosphate to pyridoxal phosphate, this is an example of enzymatic oxidation or deamination.
