Answer 2

The source of amino group for amino acid:

Explanation:

• Reductive amination is process or preparing an amino acid from a carboxylic acid group by ammonia or ammonium ion.

• For example, glutamine is prepared from glutamate and ammonium ion. Here the amino group donor is ammonium ion.

• At first, the ammonia and carboxylic group reacts as acid-base reaction to form a salt.

• Then, oxygen of carboxylic group and hydrogen of ammonia leave as water, rendering the molecule to form a keto – imine tautomerism.

• This is acts upon by enzyme to form final amino acid.
