When amino acids bind a transaminase enzyme their amino grou

When amino acids bind a transaminase enzyme, their amino group is transferred to associated with the transaminase before it is transferred to an alpha-keto acid.

Solution

Answer : The right answer is \"Pyridoxyl phosphate\"

Explanation : All aminotransferases have the same prosthetic group and the same reaction mechanism. The prosthetic group is pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), the coenzyme form of pyridoxine.Pyridoxal phosphate functions as an intermediate carrier of amino groups at the active site of aminotransferases. It undergoes reversible transformations between its aldehyde form, pyridoxal phosphate, which can accept an amino group, and its aminated form, pyridoxamine phosphate, which can donate its amino group to an alpha-keto acid.
