L-P-Lysine mutase

Aminomutases. The enzymes L-p-lysine mutase (which is also D-a-lysine mutase) and D-omithine mutase catalyze the transfer of an co-amino group to an adjacent carbon atom (Table 16-1). Two proteins are needed for the reaction pyridoxal phosphate is required and is apparently directly involved in the amino group migration. In the P-lysine mutase the 6-amino group of L-P-lysine replaces the pro-S hydrogen at C-5 but with inversion at C-5 to yield (3S, 5S)-...
