Determination of aspartic and glutamic acids by enzymatic decarboxylation.
Suspensions of Clostridium welchii (strain SR 12) quantitatively decarboxylate the L isomers of aspartic (1) and glutamic acids (2) to ar-alanine and y-aminobutyric acid, respectively. Although a quantitative procedure for the determination of glutamic acid based upon decarboxylation with this organism has been described (3), it has been found that aspartic acid, especially in the presence of c...
متن کاملEnzymatic decarboxylation of oxalic acid.
Large quantities of oxalic acid accumulate in the cell sap of various plants and as a major product of carbohydrate metabolism by many molds. A recent investigation in our laboratory revealed that oxalic acid was produced from oxalacetic acid by an enzyme system which was isolated from the mycelia of Aspergillus niger (1). It was also demonstrated that oxalic acid was converted to formic acid a...
متن کاملEnzymatic conversion of formylaspartic acid to aspartic acid.
In previous investigations imidazoleacetic acid was shown to be quantitatively converted to formylaspartic acid by a partially purified enzyme preparation obtained from Pseudomonas sp. that requires DPNH’ and oxygen (2, 3). An intermediate in this process was isolated from the incubation mixture with highly purified enzyme preparations and was characterized as N-formimino-L-aspartic acid (4). E...
متن کاملEnzymatic Decarboxylation of Oxalic Acid* by William
Although it has been recognized that oxalic acid is decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (2-6), relatively little is known of the details of oxalic acid metabolism. The present study represents an attempt to establish the mechanism of oxalate degradation at the enzyme level by the use of a bacterium isolated from soil. Partially purified enzyme preparations obtained from the organism catal...
متن کاملLight-driven Enzymatic Decarboxylation
Oxidoreductases belong to the most-applied industrial enzymes. Nevertheless, they need external electrons whose supply is often costly and challenging. Recycling of the electron donors NADH or NADPH requires the use of additional enzymes and sacrificial substrates. Interestingly, several oxidoreductases accept hydrogen peroxide as electron donor. While being inexpensive, this reagent often redu...
