The interaction of transketolase ketosubstrates with the holoenzyme has been studied. On addition of ketosubstrates cleaving both irreversibly (hydroxypyruvate) and reversibly (xylulose 5-phosphate), identical changes in the CD spectrum at 300-360 nm are observed. The changes in this spectral region

The chemical reactivity of various alpha-keto acid anions (beta-hydroxypyruvate, beta-phenylpyruvate, 2-ketobutyrate and 2-ketoglutarate) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was investigated at physiological pH (7.4) and a temperature of 25 degrees C. The initial concentration of the alpha-keto acid anions was kept
