Deamination vs. Deamidation — What's the Difference?

(organic chemistry) The removal of an amino group from a compound.

Deamidation is a chemical reaction in which an amide functional group in the side chain of the amino acids asparagine or glutamine is removed or converted to another functional group. Typically, asparagine is converted to aspartic acid or isoaspartic acid.

Deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule. Enzymes that catalyse this reaction are called deaminases.

(biochemistry) The conversion of glutamine, asparagine, glutamine residues in a polypeptide to glutamic acid or aspartic acid by treatment with strong acid, transamidase or deamidase.

To remove an amino group, NH2, from (an organic compound).

(organic chemistry) Conversion of an amide to a carboxylic acid.

Removal of the amino radical from an amino acid or other amino compound
