Abstract: From exts. of the aerial parts of Lobelia inflata, a 100-fold purified prepn. of phenylalanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase was obtained by salting ot with (NH4)2SO4 and chromatog. on Sephadex G-75 and G-200. The optimal activity was in the pH range of 8.0-9.0. The apparent Michaelis const. for phenylalanine was 5.3 × 10-2M and for 2-oxoglutarate 4.6 × 10-5M. The enzyme catalyzed the transamination of other aromatic and aliphatic amino acids in the presence of 2-oxoglutarate as amino group acceptors; aspartic acid and arginine were the most active as donors.
