Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transamination is the transfer of an amino group from one molecule to another, producing a new amino acid and a keto acid. This involves removing an amine group from one molecule and binding it to a different molecule. Option B is incorrect as the amine group is not discarded but rather used to create new amino acids. Option C is incorrect as it describes dephosphorylation, not transamination. Option D is irrelevant and not related to the topic.
