$\alpha$-keto acids

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. In biological systems,they are primarily synthesized from $\alpha$-keto acids through the process of transamination. In this process,an amino group $(-NH_2)$ is transferred from an existing amino acid to an $\alpha$-keto acid,converting it into a new amino acid. For example,pyruvic acid (an $\alpha$-keto acid) is converted into alanine.
