Write the mechanism of the PLP-dependent transamination reaction of glutamate and oxaloacetate to yicld α-ketoglutarate plus...
Aspartate transaminase catalyzes the following reaction: Aspartate + α-ketoglutarate ↔ oxaloacetate + glutamate. It has a cofactor called PLP and the deltaG of Aspartate transaminase to PLP is -8.2 kJ/mol under nominal biological conditions. 1. What is the Keq 2. If the deltaG is -6 kJ/mol how is Keq changed?
What are the resulting products of transamination between glutamate and oxaloacetate, respectively? Select one: a. alpha-ketoglutarate and aspartate b. alpha-ketoglutarate and alanine c. glutamine and aspartate d. glutamate and alanine e. None of these

C. is used in the synthesis of asparagine, purines, and pynimidines. D. can be recovered as ammonia by the action of glutaminase. E. all of the above are correct. 2- Which of the following statements about glutamate is NOT true: a It can be synthesized in...
