Abstract
Summary
Alanosine is an inhibitor of glutamic acid carboxy-lyase (C-L) of bacterial origin, but not of those from squash and rat brain. Its action is competitive in respect to glutamic acid, but noncompetitive in respect to pyridoxal phosphate. Other bacterial amino acid C-L's tested, while sensitive to hydroxylamine, are not inhibited by alanosine.
