Tryptopban-phenyl pyruvate aminotransferase of Agrobacterium tumefaciens: Purification and general properties of the enzyme

N K SUKANYA, C S VAIDYANATHAN

Abstract


Evidence has been presented to show that the first step in the conversion of tryptophan to indole acetic acid by Agrobacterium tumefacieus involves transamination. The properties of a 58-fold purified type phan-phcnyjpyruvate amino transferase preparation with respect to specificity, optimum pH, temperature and protection against thermal denaturation by substrates have been studied.

Keywords


Aminotransferase; transamination; plant tumours.
