Chapter 23.5, Problem 17P
The enzyme that catalyzes the Cα → Cβ bond cleavage reaction that converts serine to glycine removes the substituent (R) bonded to the α-carbon in the first step of the reaction. Starting with PLP bound to serine in an imine linkage, propose a mechanism for this reaction.(Hint: The first step involves removal of the proton from serine’s OH group.)

The enzyme that catalyzes the C-Cg bond cleavage reaction that converts serine to glycine removes the
substituent (R) bonded to the a-carbon in the first step of the reaction. Starting with PLP bound to serine in
an imine linkage, propose a mechanism for this reaction. (Hint: The first step involves removal of the proton
from serine's OH group.)
The first step in the catabolism of most amino acids is the removal of the nitrogen atom by transfer to an a-keto acid, a reaction
catalyzed by an enzyme called a transaminase. The a-keto acid acceptor is often a-ketoglutarate. Modify the structures in the
product to show the products of the transamination of cysteine. Be sure to show functional groups with the charge and number of
attached hydrogen atoms appropriate for pH 7.4.
