General Reactions of Amino Acids | Biochemistry
In this article we will discuss about the two main types of general reactions in amino acids, i.e, enzymatic reactions using pyridoxal phosphate as the co-enzyme and deamination. 1. Enzymatic Reactions using Pyridoxal Phosphate as the Co-Enzyme: A number of reactions involving amino acids, like transamination, decarÂboxylation, elimination of the side chain with maintenance of the α-amino-car- boxylic group (e.g., [...]
