1. His research with Barnes was on the enzymatic mechanism of transamination . 2. Transaminases are enzymes that help catalyze the reactions that take place in transamination . 3. Transamination catalyzed by aminotransferase occurs in two stages.4. Transamination is mediated by several different aminotransferase enzymes.5. Transamination of ?-ketoglutarate gives glutamate.6. GOT2 converts oxaloacetate into aspartate by transamination . 7. Further transaminations are carried out make other amino acids ( most commonly aspargine ) from glutamine. 8. Finally is the transamination via the action of a glutamate-leucine transaminase to result in leucine. 9. This ketone is then formed into a primary amine group through PLP and glutamine transamination ( 3a ). 10. In transamination , after deprotonation the quinoid intermediate accepts a proton at a different position to become a ketimine.
