Abstract

A possible mechanism for the action of beef liver MAO on benzylamine at pH 7.4 and 25 ° is presented. The pros and cons of the proposed formal mechanism are discussed. The mechanism was derived from the chemical, kinetic, and product inhibition data. If all the data reported by the various investigators to date are correct, and the different substrates used do not account for the observed differences in their results, it appears that the MAO isolated from different species proceed by different ping pong mechanisms.
