Reaction Steps

A solution of indole-3-pyruvate, 20 mM; L-aspartic acid 20 mM; MgCl2, 1.5 mM; transaminase, 0.3 mg/ml; oxaloacetate decarboxylase, 0.3 mg/ml buffered to pH 7.0 with 5 mM tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane hydrochloride (Tris) was stirred slowly for 2 hours. At the end of this time the reaction is complete. The L-tryptophan and pyruvic acid produced can be purified by methods well known in the art.
