Formation of methylglyoxal from aminoacetone by amine oxidase from goat plasma.
An enzyme from goat plasma which catalyzes the oxidation of aminoacetone to methylglyoxal has been isolated and purified to apparent homogeneity. This enzyme has been found to be identical with the well known amine oxidase. Several properties of the enzyme have also been described.
