title: Thiazolidine-2-carboxylate derivatives formed from glyoxylate and L-cysteine or L-cysteinylglycine as possible physiological substrates for D-aspartate oxidase.
abstract: Adducts of glyoxylate with L-cysteine or L-cysteinylglycine were found to be excellent substrates at low concentrations for beef kidney D-aspartate oxidase. Evidence is presented that cis-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate and its glycine amide are the actual substrates, and that both are converted in the enzymic reaction to 4-substituted thiazoline-2-carboxylates. The results imply that these thiazolidine derivatives are the likely physiological reactants for mammalian D-aspartate oxidase.
