Abstract
A soluble enzyme system can be prepared from bean seedling acetone powders which catalyzes the condensation of glutamic acid and cysteine to form the dipeptide, gamma-glutamyl-cysteine. Energy for the synthesis is supplied by adenosine triphosphate. In addition, both Mg and K ions are necessary for maximal rates of peptide formation.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
