Solved: The amino acid leucine is biosynthesized from a-ketoisocaproate, which is itself
Chapter 29, Problem 29.55(choose chapter or problem)
The amino acid leucine is biosynthesized from a-ketoisocaproate, which is itself prepared from a-ketoisovalerate by a multistep route that involves (1) reaction with acetyl CoA, (2) hydrolysis, (3) dehydration, (4) hydration, (5) oxidation, and (6) decarboxylation. Show the steps in the transformation, and propose a mechanism for each. -Ketoisovalerate -Ketoisocaproate CO2 O C CO2 O Acetyl CoA, H2O, NAD+ HSCoA, CO2, NADH/H+
