Abstract

I reversible isomerization of P-methylaspartate to glutamate, 2 one of the three known coenzyme B12 dependent, enzyme-catalyzed, carbon-skeleton rearrangement reactions. P- Methylaspartic acid (I) also occurs in nature as a component of the polypeptide antibiotics aspartocin3 and glumamy~ in.~ Because there exists a high level of interest in the P, y- unsaturated amino acids5 and expressly for the purpose6 of attachment to the cobalt atom ...
