Abstract

Glutamate racemase of Pediococcus pentosaceus catalyzes the α,β-elimination of L-serine O-sulfate to produce a pyruvate concomitantly with an irreversible inactivation of the enzyme, α,β-Elimination and inactivation reactions proceed through a common intermediate. l-Serine O-sulfate serves as a suicide substrate of the enzyme. © 1993, Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.
