L-Aspartic Acid → L-Alanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The enzymatic reaction was carried out exactly as in Example 1 except that the concentration of L-aspartic acid was 420 mM and the concentration of 2-ketoglutarate was 17 mM. Assay of the product by amino acid analysis again showed complete conversion of the L-aspartic acid to produce L-alanine and L-glutamic acid. The reaction progress of this example repeated under similar conditions but with a reaction time of 24 hrs. is illustrated graphically in FIG. 2.
