Selenomethionine as substrate for glutamine transaminase.
BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INTERNATIONAL(1994)
Abstract
Selenomethionine is as a good substrate as methionine for bovine liver glutamine transaminase (E.C. 2.6.1.15). Almost identical Km values for methionine, selenomethionine, 4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoic acid and 4-methylseleno-2-oxobutanoic acid have been obtained. Like for other enzymes, also for glutamine transaminase the substitution of the sulfur atom in a substrate molecule by a selenium one does not appreciably affect the enzyme affinity. Glutamine transaminase may thus be involved in selenomethionine catabolism.
