Transamination reactions, in other words, the targeted variation of the substituent on the nitrogen atom in cyclic and acyclic amines, pose a great challenge for synthetic chemistry.

The transamination product of SMM, 4-dimethylsulfonio-2-oxobutyrate (DMSOB), is expected to be extremely unstable. This was confirmed by attempting to synthesize it enzymatically from SMM using ...

IN previous communications1,2 it was shown that the presence of free aspartic and glutamic acids could be demonstrated in carious but not in sound dentine. With the view that a knowledge of the ...

Amino acid metabolism is an important process that occurs within the human body to assist in numerous biological reactions. This article will cover the role of glutamate, transamination reactions ...
