abstract：:It had long been thought, but never demonstrated, that imino acids are formed in the reactions catalyzed by D- and L-amino acid oxidases (EC 1.4.3.3 and 1.4.3.2). The formation of imino acids is now shown directly by allowing the amino acid oxidase reaction to proceed in the presence of NaBH(4), when the imino acid is...
