  • Title: Evaluation of interconversion between (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of beta-aminoisobutyrate.
    Author: Tamaki N, Kaneko M, Kikugawa M, Fujimoto S.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1990 Jul 20; 1035(1):117-9. PubMed ID: 1974465.
    Abstract:
    The conversion of (R)- to (S)-beta-aminoisobutyrate was observed in the presence of D-3-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase, aminobutyrate aminotransferase, pyruvate and L-glutamate. The reverse reaction was also found in the presence of 2-oxoglutarate and L-alanine. Neither D-3-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase nor aminobutyrate aminotransferase revealed a racemase activity of the enantiomorphs.
