What final products are formed when leucine is subjected to transamination followed by oxidative deamination? Analysis To draw the organic product, replace the [latex]\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}[/latex] and [latex]\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{NH}_3{ }^{+}[/latex] on the α carbon of the amino acid by [latex]\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}[/latex]. [latex]\mathrm{NH}_4^{+}[/latex] is formed from the amino group.

What final products are formed when leucine is subjected to transamination followed by oxidative deamination?

Analysis

To draw the organic product, replace the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ and $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{NH}_3{ }^{+}$ on the α carbon of the amino acid by $\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$ . $\mathrm{NH}_4^{+}$ is formed from the amino group.
