What is an AMP deaminase?
An AMP deaminase is an enzyme which plays a role in the metabolic process whcih converts sugar, fat, and protein into cellular energy.
What is the process in which a amino group is combined with a keto acid to form an amino acid?
Transamination
What type of organic compound always includes a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino acid always has an amino group and a carboxyl group. The amine group of one amino acid is capable of forming a peptide bond with the carboxyl group of another amino acid.
What process produces peptide bonds?
Dehydration synthesis is the process that produces peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent chemical bond formed between a carboxyl group and an amino group.
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.

What is the process in which a amino group is combined with a keto acid to form an amino acid?
Transamination
Do amino acids amino have an amino group?
No,fatty acids don't have an amino group
Is deamination the process of transferring the amine group from one amino acid to another?
transamination
What type of organic compound always includes a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino acid always has an amino group and a carboxyl group. The amine group of one amino acid is capable of forming a peptide bond with the carboxyl group of another amino acid.
What process produces peptide bonds?
Dehydration synthesis is the process that produces peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent chemical bond formed between a carboxyl group and an amino group.
Is an amino group functional?
For forming a peptide bond, it is essential. There are a number of amino acids that have an amino group as an R-group, as well.
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
How do amino acids join?
When amino acids are bound together though peptide bonds, they form peptides. When the chain of amino acids becomes long enough, typically around 50 amino acids in length, it is typically referred to as a protein.
Why is the amine group of an amino acid toxic to cells?
The amino group of an amino acid contains the elements Nitrogen and Hydrogen. By itself, it is not toxic to cells. But after deamination where the amino group is removed from the amino acid, the amino group is then converted into ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to cells, and also contains Nitrogen and Hydrogen, but it has a different chemical formula from the amino group.
When 2 amino acids link together what bond is formed?
carboxyl group of one molecule of amino acid and amino group of the other molecule of amino acid by releasing a molecule of water.
True or False A peptide bond joins the amino group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid?
Its false
