What amino acid can be obtained by the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

Biology

Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Glutamic acid

Explanation:

Reductive amination is a form of amination that involves the conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine. The carbonyl group is most commonly a ketone or an aldehyde. In this reaction, in the presence of enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, ammonium ion directly combines with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, to form glutamic acid (amino acid) and for this to happen, a reduced coenzyme (NADPH) is required.

The biosynthesis of glutamic acid  can be obtianed from the reductive amination of γ-ketoglutaric acid

γ-Ketoglutaric acid is a common precursor in synthesis of glutamic acid. Addition of NADPH and ammonia or alpha amino acid with   γ-Ketoglutaric acid produces glutamic acid. Enzymes involved in this reduction amination  process are glutamate dehydrogenase and/or transaminase.

The all-or-none response means that
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

option B) is correct

Explanation:

The all or none response means that if a muscle contracts, it will contract completely. Thus implying the all or none law which states:

The potential of a response of a muscle fiber or nerve cell is independent of the potential of the stimulus. If a stimulus is more than a certain critical value it will trigger muscle fiber or a nerve. Most importantly resulting in either an all-or-none response thus reducing possibility of any information loss.
