Abstract
An extract of Leucaena seedlings has been shown to catalyse an enzymic synthesis of mimosine from 3,4-dihydroxypyridine and O-acetylserine. Neither serine nor α,β-diaminopropionic acid served as direct substrates in the enzymic reaction. A similar enzymic synthesis of β-pyrazol-1-ylalanine in watermelon seedling extracts was shown to be dependent upon pyrazole and O-acetylserine, and not serine. Some properties of the enzymes are described.
