Abstract NMR studies in D 2 O (> 90%) reveal that Alanine Racemase (5.1. 1.1.) from B. subtilis catalyzes the exchange of the α hydrogen of D-and L-alanine with D 2 O. Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (2.6. 1.2.) and Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (2.6. 1.1.) catalyze the exchange of α and β hydrogens of L-alanine. The rates of exchange of α and β hydrogens appear to be of the same order of magnitude. The transaminase catalyzed exchange is enhanced by catalytic amounts of pyruvate. The side chain of L-alanine is held more rigidly at the active site of transaminase so that the planar conjugated system can be extended to include the α and β carbons. A generalized mechanism is proposed for the action of pyridoxal phosphate dependent transaminases which extends Braunstein and Snell mechanism to include the structures which contribute to the labilization of β hydrogens of amino acids by the transaminases that have been studied.
