The process of removing ammonia or ammonia-derived groups from a molecule or compound.
From de- + ammonia + -ation. This technical term, less common than deamination, refers specifically to the removal of ammonia or ammonium groups, emerging in specialized biochemical literature.
While deammonation sounds like a real term, it's quite rare in actual scientific use—most chemists simply say 'deamination' even when talking about ammonia removal, showing how specialized vocabulary sometimes gets simplified.
