Sapling Learning ma milan learning Transamination of an amino acid transfers an amine group to form an a-keto acid and is catalyzed by transaminases. Some amino acids can be transaminated into compounds that can be used directly in biological pathways, while other amino acids need to be converted through several steps. Classify the ami acids into the following two categories. X Yields a glycolytic or citric acid Requires several steps to yield a intermediate directly upon transamination glycolytic or citric acid intermediate glutamate alanine asparagine glutamine glycine aspartate Incorrect Pyruvate can be formed from transamination of alanine. Pyruvate is a product in the glycolysis cycle.
