Catalytic effect of monovalent cations on the amine oxidation by cofactor TTQ of quinoprotein amine dehydrogenases
Abstract
Oxidation of benzylamine by a model compound of cofactor TTQ (tryptophan tryptophylquinone) of quinoprotein amine dehydrogenases is made possible by coordination of a monovalent cation such as Li+ in anhydrous MeCN.
