Final answer:
Tautomerization and deamination are distinct chemical processes; the former involves the rearrangement of bonds within a molecule, while the latter specifically refers to the removal of an amino group. Therefore, tautomerization does not include deamination.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks whether tautomerization includes deamination. Tautomerization is a chemical reaction that describes the chemical equilibrium between structural isomers, typically differing by the placement of a proton and the double bonds. Deamination, however, involves the removal of an amino group from amino acids. This process can be either non-oxidative or oxidative.
The correct answer to the question is b) No. Tautomerization and deamination are distinct chemical reactions and the existence of one does not entail the occurrence of the other. While both involve changes to a molecule, deamination is specifically related to the removal of an amino group, and tautomerization is a rearrangement of bonds within a molecule which does not include the removal of amino groups.
