Abstract
IT has previously been reported by Cohen1 that enzyme preparations catalysing the reactions : (1) Alanine + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ glutamate + pyruvate; (2) Aspartate + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ glutamate + oxalo acetate; are also capable of catalysing : (3) Cysteic acid + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ glutamate + sulphopyruvate. (In a succeeding paper it will be shown that reaction (3) is reversible, which has hitherto not been proved.)
