Processes for Biosynthesis of Urea | Protein Metabolism
The following points highlight the three main processes for biosynthesis of urea. The processes are: 1. Transamination 2. Oxidative Deamination 3. Ammonia Formation and Transport. Process # 1. Transamination: a. Transamination involves inter-conversion of a pair of α-amino acids and a pair of α- keto acids and is catalysed by transaminases or aminotransferases. b. Pyridoxal phosphate (B6 PO4) is the [...]
