transamination Transposition of an amino group within a chemical compound. Chemistry. A biochemical reaction in which an amino group is transferred from an amino acid—which becomes an alpha-keto acid upon losing the amino group—to an alpha-keto acid—which becomes an amino acid once it gains the transferred amino group.ransamination (tranzam´inā´shən) , n the reaction between an α-ketoacid and an amino acid in which the amino group moves to the α-ketoacid, creating a new amino acid and a new ketoacid.

Mutation MUTATION, French law. This term is synonymous with change, and is particularly applied to designate the change which takes place in the property of a thing in its transmission from one person to another; permutation therefore happens when, the owner of the thing sells, exchanges or gives it.

Transformation (genetics) In molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane. For transformation to take place, the recipient bacteria must be in a state of competence, which might occur in nature as a time-limited response to environmental conditions such as starvation and cell density, and may also be induced in a laboratory. Transformation is one of three processes for horizontal gene transfer, in which exogenous genetic material passes from bacterium to another, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium).

Transmutation Definition and Examples (Chemistry) Transmutation is the conversion of one chemical element into another. Element transmutation may occur either naturally or via a synthetic route. Radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion are natural processes by which one element may become another.

Transformation (genetics) Transformation is one of three processes by which exogenous genetic material may be introduced into a bacterial cell, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium).acterial transformation may be referred to as a stable genetic change brought about by the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins) to increase DNA quantity; competence refers to the state of being able to take up exogenous DNA from the environment.
