摘要:
The mechanisms of condensation of l-cysteine, l-methionine, and l-serine with pyridoxal and of transaldimination of N-pyridoxylidene-beta-alanine with l-cysteine were studied by the kinetic method. Unlike methionine and serine, the condensation of cysteine with pyridoxal and transaldimination with Npyridoxylidene-beta-alanine involves intermediate formation of stable product having a thiazolidine ring. Its structure was determined by elemental analysis, UV, and IR spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. The thiazolidine fragment in the pyridoxal condensation product with l-cysteine is turned through an angle of similar to 90A degrees with respect to the pyridine ring plane due to mutual repulsion of the negatively charged oxygen atom in the ortho position of the pyridine ring and sulfur and nitrogen atoms in the thiazolidine ring.
