title: [Oxidative deamination of beta-methylaspartic acid].
abstract: beta-methyl-aspartic acid is a substrate for beef kidney D-aspartate oxidase. The first product of a typical oxidative deamination, undergoes further spontaneous process of decarboxylation which gives as product, the alpha-keto-butyric acid.
