Abstract

1. The capacity of various amino acids to convert the pyridoxal form of aspartate aminotransferase into the pyridoxamine form has been investigated. 2. Glutamate has the highest converting capacity; aspartate, alpha-aminopimelate, alpha-aminoadipate and other amino acids follow. 3. The converting capacity of the various amino acids assayed is connected with their structural features. 4. A possible role of amino acids as secondary substrates of aspartate aminotransferase is suggested.
