The a-hydroxy-acids are first oxidized to keto-acids with a mixture of l- and D-a-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. The dehydrogenases use NAD" " as cosubstrate, and this is reduced to NADH. In the second stage of the reaction this NADH is used to synthesize an L-amino acid from ammonium ions and the ketoacid in a reaction catalysed by an amino acid dehydrogenase. For the synthesis of leucine the l- and D-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases are obtained from Lactobacillus confusus and L. casei respectively, while the L-aminoacid dehydrogenase is obtained from Bacillus sphaericus (Figure 6.30). ...
