Which of the following conversions could occur as part of a ansamination reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amisination reactions involve adding an amino group (-NH2) to a molecule. This can result in the conversion of a keto group (e.g. pyruvate) to an amino group (e.g. alanine) or the conversion of an amino group (e.g. alanine) to a keto group (e.g. pyruvate). Therefore, both options A and B are possible conversions in ansamination reactions. Additionally, oxaloacetate can be converted to glutamate through an ansamination reaction, so option C is also a correct response. Therefore, the answer is D - more than one correct response.
