pH-dependence of elimination and racemization reactions.
(A) Elimination reaction was assayed for pyruvate
formation at 37°C in media containing 50 mM Tris⋅HCl, 10 mM
l-serine O-sulfate, 2 μg/ml
recombinant enzyme, and 15 μM PLP (○). (B)
Racemization of l-serine was assayed at 37°C in media
containing 50 mM Tris⋅HCl, 10 mM l-serine, 10
μg/ml recombinant enzyme, and 15 μM PLP
(●). The experiment was replicated three times,
using different preparations with similar results.
