IT has been previously reported that there exist in various organisms two enzymes, named transoximase1 and oximase2, which catalyse the transfer and reduction of the oximino group respectively. In view of the fact that glutamic acid plays an essential part in amino-acid synthesis, we have now studied glutamate formation through the combined action of these enzymes.
