organic chemistry, keto
acids or
ketoacids (also
called oxo
acids or oxoacids) are
organic compounds that
contain a
carboxylic acid
group (−COOH) and...

aminotransferase (BCAT) into
their relevant α-
ketoacids. The
second step
involves the
conversion of α-
ketoacids into acetoacetate, acetyl-CoA, and succinyl-CoA...

uncontrolled diabetes,
there is an

Thiamine (T:) is the
active component for

Transamination is a
chemical reaction that
