Abstract
The stereoconfiguration of amino acids, as determined by treatment with L-amino acid oxidase, d-amino acid oxidase and l-glutamate decarboxylase (containing l-aspartate decarboxylase activity), in the peptides from a mycobacillin-synthesizing cell-free system is identical with that of the growing mycobacillin peptide chaid if its synthesis starts from l-proline and is interrupted at various points by amino acid deprivation.
