What is Which amino acid undergoes hepatic deamination? and explain in detail?
Ans: B (Glutamate) Ref: Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, 26th edition. Pg 244.Explanation:"Since alanine is also a substrate for glutamate aminotransferase, all the amino nitrogen from amino acids that undergo transamination can be concentrated in glutamate. This is important because L- glutamate is the only amino acid that undergoes oxidative deamination at an appreciable rate in liver & kidney.
