A Ketogenic aminoacid among the following is
A ketogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into ketone bodies through ketogenesis. This is in contrast to the glucogenic amino acids, which are converted into glucose. In humans, two amino acids are exclusively ketogenic: leucine and lysine.
Leucine
Alanine
Glycine
Serine
A small insertion or deletion of 3n + - l nucleotides which disrupts the reading frame, generating a novel polypeptide sequence distal to the mutation is known as
Frameshift mutation
Read through mutation
Nonsense mutation
Point mutations
The Enzyme Nitrilase convert
Nitrilase enzymes catalyses the hydrolysis of nitriles to carboxylic acids and ammonia, without the formation of "free" amide intermediates. Nitrilases are involved in natural product biosynthesis and post translational modifications in plants, animals, fungi and certain prokaryotes.

IAA to Indole acetonitrile
Indole pyruvic acid to IAA
Tryptamine to IAA
Denitrification is carried out under the influence of Microorganisms such as
