Which of the following accurately describes the general process of transdeamination? A) Combines transamination and oxidative deamination. B) Results only in the production of ammonia. C) Involves solely the conversion of glutamate. D) Does not involve α-Ketoglutarate.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which option correctly describes the process of transdeamination, which is related to nitrogen metabolism and amino acid processing. We need to understand how transdeamination functions in relation to transamination and deamination processes.
Answer
Combines transamination and oxidative deamination.
The general process of transdeamination accurately combines transamination and oxidative deamination.
Answer for screen readers
The general process of transdeamination accurately combines transamination and oxidative deamination.
More Information
Transdeamination is a process that involves both transamination, where an amino group is transferred to a keto acid, and oxidative deamination, removing the amino group as ammonia.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing transdeamination with processes that result only in ammonia production, or only involve glutamate conversion.
