Abstract

In the course of studies concerning the reverse action of L-glutamic acid decarboxylase, the authors have asserted the inhibition of ƒ¿-ketoglutaric acid and the presence of L-glutamic acid and ƒÁ-aminobutyric acid in the enzyme preparations.Finally, evidence for the inter conversion of ƒ¿-ketoglutaric-ƒÁ-aminobutyric transaminase and L-glutamic acid decarboxylase preparations isolated from plant tissue was established in our laboratory.
