1. 1. Sarcosine was oxidized by D-amino-acid oxidase (d-amino-acid: O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.3) to yield methylamine and glyoxylic acid. A series of N-alkyl glycines were also oxidized by this
Glycine is also oxidized by D-amino acidoxidase, anFADprotein: NH3+−CH2glycineCOO−+O2+H2O→ CHOCOO−glyoxalate+NH4++H2O2 Glyoxalate can be transaminated to glycine, reduced to glycolate, converted to α-hydroxy-β-ketoadipate by reaction w...
Sarcosine oxidased-Amino acid oxidaseBacillus subtilisThe open reading frame yjbR which had been sequenced as a part of the Bacillus subtilis genome project encodes a putative 40.9-kDa protein. The yjbR-coding sequence was slightly similar to those of bacterial sarcosine oxidases and possibly ...
