Four new complexes of the type [LCo ((DO)(DOH) pn) Cl] PF , where (DO) (DOH) pn = N , N '- propanediylbis (2, 3-butanedione2-imine3-oxirne)a nd L =morpholine (mrpln) (I), benzylamine (bzlan) (II), piperidine (pprdn)(III) and pyrrolidine (prldn) (IV) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic methods. Approximate values of the angular-overlap parameter, ?, ...

1. Evidence is presented for the presence of pyridoxine phosphate oxidase in aqueous extracts of Escherichia coli. Some comparison is made with pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase. 2. Isoniazid and iproniazid were found to combine with pyridoxal phosphate, but isoniazid did not combine with either pyridoxamine phosphate or pyridoxine phosphate. Both oxidase activities were somewhat inhibited by benz...

Benzylaminoalkenones and benzylaminoalkenoates 3 were synthesized from reaction of benzylamine with corresponding 1,3-diketones and 1,3-ketoesters in the presence of catalytic amount of chloroacetic acid under microwave radiation. This method offers several advantages including high yield of products, recyclable of the catalyst and easy experimental work-up procedure.

Pig plasma benzylamine oxidase is a protein containing cupric copper and pyridoxal phosphate. The pyridoxal phosphate is stably linked to the enzyme. Discrepancies in the numbers of active sites per molecule of enzyme are reported in the literature. This paper shows that the fully active pure enzyme contains 3 mol of pyridoxal phosphate per mol, whereas enzymes with a lower specific activity ar...
