Q
what is deamination of amino acid
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Deamination is a metabolic process in which the amino group (-NH2) is removed from an amino acid, resulting in the formation of a keto acid and ammonia. This reaction can occur through various mechanisms, including enzymatic action (e.g., by deaminases) or non-enzymatic means, such as chemical hydrolysis. Deamination plays a crucial role in the body's nitrogen metabolism, facilitating the conversion of excess amino acids into usable forms of energy or stored fats. It also prepares nitrogen from amino acids for excretion from the body in a less toxic form, such as urea in ureotelic organisms like humans. The process is vital for maintaining homeostasis and enabling the use of amino acids for energy production, especially during periods of fasting or limited carbohydrate intake.
