Want to know:

A Schiff's base mechanism takes place during the transaminase reaction. Which of the following statements correctly describes this mechanism? A. An active site lysine residue is aminated by the incoming amino acid forming the first keto acid, which is then released as a product B. Biotin is aminated in the active site of the transaminase by the incoming first amino acid to produce the first keto acid released as a product C. Pryidoxal phosphate in the active site of the transaminase is aminated forming pyridoxamine from the first amino acid, then the first keto acid is released D. A lysine residue becomes protonated in the active site, which causes the first amino acid to directly aminate the first keto acid to the new amino acid
