Abstract
BRAUNSTEIN'S1 demonstration of the transaminase reaction as a mode of formation of ammo-acids has been broadened recently to include a wide variety of transaminases in bacteria2, animal tissues3 and plants4. In the present communication, we wish to report the formation of compounds other than amino-acids by the transaminase reaction.
