Sterospecificity of pig kidney and pea seedling diamino oxidases on 2-mehtyl-1,4-diaminobutane
Abstract
diamine oxidase from pea seedings (PDAO) oxidizes both (R)-and (S)-2-methylputrescine at the less hindered C-4, whereas pig-kindey diamine oxidase (KDAO) shows a dependence on the stereochemistry of the substrate, since the (R)-isomer is oxidized at C-1 and the (S)-isomer at the less hindered amino group at C-4.
