Examples of 'deaminase' in a sentence

Meaning of "deaminase"

deaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of an amino group from a molecule, often as part of metabolic processes in living organisms. Deaminases play a crucial role in nitrogen metabolism and the biosynthesis of various molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. These enzymes are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis
