摘要
Tryptophanase, which has the very strict stereospecificity to L-tryptophan under ordinary condition, becomes active to D-tryptophan in highly concentrated diammoniumhydrogen phosphate solution. The reaction process of D-tryptophan degradation is studied in terms of kinetics. Diammoniumhydrogen phosphate acts on tryptophanase as activator below 3.1 M, and as noncompetitive inhibitor over it. Additionally, the pathway of the reaction is provided on the basis of kinetic parameters.
