3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → Salicylaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction rate was measured as described in Example 1, using as substrates 5 mM pyruvate and 5 mM 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The absorbance values at 346 nm decreased linearly at a rate of 0.15 OD/min, which yielded a decrease of hydroxybenzaldehyde concentration 0.3 μmol/min, when using ε=480 M−1cm−1. The corresponding activity was 0.93 U/mg.
