Abstract

The thetin-Hcys transmethylase was first found to be present in the cells of G. cohnii. It was strongly suggested by this study that in G. cohnii DMPT acted at least partly as a methyl donor in the transmethylation reaction, in the presence of Hcys. The products in this reaction were Met and MTP. This reaction was stimulated by addition of betaine, but not influenced by NaCl. The optimum pH for the thetin-Hcys transmethylase was in the neighbourhood of 7.0.
