Abstract
The kinetics and mechanisms of condensation of pyridoxal with L-α-glutamic acid and L-glutamine were studied by UV spectroscopy and polarimetry. L-α-Glutamic acid reacts with pyridoxal to form a Schiff base whose subsequent hydrolysis gives rise to pyridoxamine and α-ketoglutaric acid. The reaction of Lglutamine with pyridoxal involves the Γ-NH2 group and affords a Schiff base whose subsequent hydrolysis gives rise to pyridoxamine and L-α-glutamic acid.
