Chapter 21: Q17. (page 771)

Sarcosine dehydrogenase catalyzes N-demethylation of the nonstandard amino acid sarcosine. Name the reaction product.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The N-demethylation of sarcosine will produce glycine amino acid.

Step by step solution

01

Methylation reaction

Methylation is a reaction that helps in removing the methyl group from the molecule. This methyl group is substituted by the Hatom.

02

Addition of H group after removing a methyl group from Sarcosine

The addition of Hafter the removal of the methyl group attached to the amino group of sarcosine would result in glycine amino acid. This reaction is known as the N-demethylation reaction.

Therefore, the resulting amino acid will be glycine.
