✦ Synopsis
L-Deuterio-glutamic acid was isolated in pure form from algae grown in nutrient solution containing better than 99 per cent Dz0. The pH profile for the transamination of glutamic acid with pyridoxal shows a peak at pH 4. The presence of acetate buffer increases the reaction rate up to about seven times when com ared to the unbuffered system. Protio-glutamic acid reacts about 2.1 times faster tian deuterio-glutamic acid. The reaction appears to be general acid and general base catalyzed.
N BIOLOGICAL systems transamination involves I the transfer of an amino group between certain amino and keto acids. The discovery of the occurrence in nature of the aldehyde and amine forms of vitamin Ba by Snell(1) led to the suggestion that pyridoxal and pyridoxamine may be interconvertible in transamination reactions, and

## Abstract Deuterium isotope effects on ^13^C nuclear shielding, __^n^__ΔC(D), transmitted across a D‐labelled nitrogen atom were investigated for a series of __para__‐substituted benzanilides. The two two‐bond isotope shifts, ^2^ΔC(D) are perturbed essentially in a trough‐bond manner by change of
