Question

What is the product of transamination reaction of leucine?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The amino group of alanine is attached to α-ketoglutarate through transamination into glutamate. The amino group of glutamate is removed as NH4+ by glutamate dehydrogenase for incorporation into urea that is cleared through the kidney. These reactions are known as the alanine cycle,

Answer 2

HI friend...

Leucine zipper transcription factors contain leucine residues at every seventh position in the C-terminal end of the DNA-binding domains (DBDs). These proteins often function as dimers using two extended α-helices to bind DNA at two different major groves. Proteins in this class use basic residues in the α-helix to bind the phosphate groups present in the backbone of DNA in addition to interactions with specific base pairs of the major groove. Leucine residue-derived protruding R-groups mediate homo- and heterodimerization through binding interactions with like groups on candidate proteins. Heterodimeric association can affect DNA specificity and regulate function
