Concept introduction:
Reductive amination of α-keto acids synthesize amino acids, in which conversion of α-keto group into an
In cells, some enzymes carry out this conversion of α-keto acids into amino acids. Here, only the D-amino acids are formed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amino acids that are obtained from the reductive amination of given metabolic intermediates in the laboratory should be given.
Concept introduction:
Reductive amination of α-keto acids synthesize amino acids, in which conversion of α-keto group into an amine group is taking place.
In laboratory, racemic mixture (both D and L-amino acids in equal amounts) of amino acids are formed.

The omega-3 class of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAS) has potent effects on cardiovascular function. The most active omega-3 PUFAS are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). These PUFAS are precursors of which of the following biologically active lipids? a. gangliosides b. leukotrienes c. prostaglandins d. resolvins e. thromboxanesarrow_forwardWhich amino acids on proteins can form glycosidic linkages? Select one: a. Cysteine and methionine b. Tryptophan and phenylalanine c. Glycine and proline d. Serine and asparagine e. Alanine and leucinearrow_forward
- a. In an aqueous solution, d-glucose exists in equilibrium with two six-membered ring compounds. Draw the structures of these compounds.b. Which of the six-membered ring compounds will be the major product?arrow_forwardUse the drawing app to draw the organic product that will form under the given conditions. Br NaOMearrow_forwardConsider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose is found in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannot digest it, its consumption causes flatulence.a. Label all glycoside bonds.b. Classify each glycosidic linkage as αα or ββ and use numbers to designate its location between two rings (e.g., 1→→4-ββ)-c. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H33O++?d. Is stachyose a reducing sugar?e. What product is formed when stachyose is treated with excess CH33I, Ag22O?f. What products are formed when the product in (e) is treated with H33O++?arrow_forward

Circle the glycosidic bond. saccharide. saccharide units. glycosidic bond.arrow_forwardThe long-term health effects of eating partially hydrogenated vegetable oils concern some nutritionists because many unnatural fatty acids are produced. Consider the partial hydrogenation of linolenic acid by the addition of one or two equivalentsof hydrogen. Show how this partial hydrogenation can produce at least three different fatty acids we have not seen before.arrow_forwardWhen Fructose (shown below) undergoes reduction in the presence of H2 and Pd, two compounds are generated.
