The reactivity of the imino acids formed in the D or L-amino acid oxidase [from Crotalus adamanteus venom and hog kidney, respectively] reaction was studied. When imino acids reacted with the .alpha.-amino group of glycine or other amino acids, transmination yielded derivatives less stable to hydrolysis than the parent imino acids. When imino acids reacted with the .epsilon.-amino group of lysine or other primary amines, transimination yielded derivatives more stable to hydrolysis than the parent imino acids. Imino acids react rapidly with hydrazine and semicarbazide, forming stable hydrazones and semicarbazones. At pH 7.7, the rate of reaction of the imino acid analog of leucine with semicarbazide was 104 times greater than that of the corresponding keto acid. The reaction of imino acids with these reagents is rapid enough to permit one to follow spectrophotometrically the amino acid oxidase reaction. Imino acids also reacted with cyanide to yield stable adducts. The rate of hydrolysis of the amino acid analog of leucine was independent of pH above pH 8.5. At lower pH values, the rate of hydrolysis increased with decreasing pH. At 25 .degree. C and in the absence of added amino compounds, this imino acid had a half-life of 22 s at pH 8.5. Its half-life was 9.9 s at pH 7.9.
