Definition of decarboxylate in English:
decarboxylate
verb ˌdiːkɑːˈbɒksɪleɪtˌdikɑrˈbɑksəleɪt
[with object]Chemistry 1Eliminate a carboxylic acid group from (an organic compound)
heating at 100°C in dryness decarboxylates the proteins to yield glutamic acid
Example sentencesExamples
- Thus, malate produced following PEP carboxylation is readily decarboxylated and the CO 2 released.
- Coproporphyrinogen III is transported to the interior of the mitochondrion, where 2 propionate residues are decarboxylated, yielding vinyl substituents on the 2 pyrrole rings.
- In this compartment, called the matrix, the pyruvic acid is decarboxylated to a two-carbon acetyl group, releasing a CO 2 molecule, and is enzymatically joined to Coenzyme A, a large carrier molecule.
- Pyruvate is first decarboxylated to produce acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide, catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase.
- Malate formed by PEPC can either be used in the citric acid cycle or it can be decarboxylated to provide pyruvate and subsequently acetyl-CoA.
- 1.1no object Undergo the process of decarboxylation.
unstable carbamic acid decarboxylates to yield the amine
Example sentencesExamples
- After electron transfer the product decarboxylates resulting in a ketylbiradical III that has a life time of about 4 s, long enough to reduce oxygen to superoxide.
