Why does biochemical amino acid synthesis proceed the way it does? Kinetic and mechanistic experiments with a model hydride donor were used to determine the intrinsic electrophilic reactivities of keto acids in reduction and reductive amination reactions. Comparing the nonenzymatic reactivity trends with those found in biology provides new insight into the structure of amino acid metabolism.
为什么生化氨基酸合成会这样进行?使用模型氢化物供体进行动力学和机械实验来确定酮酸在还原和还原胺化反应中的固有亲电反应性。将非酶反应趋势与生物学中发现的趋势进行比较,为氨基酸代谢结构提供了新的见解。
