We determined the apparent equilibrium constant of formation, KpH, of the Schijf bases of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and poly-and copolymers containing L-lysine, as a function of pH at 25" and a constant ionic strength of 0 . 1 ~. The KPH values obtained at acidic and neutral pH were larger that t

Abstract
The stability of some Schiff‐bases formed between PLP and different amino acids has been investigated in a wide range of pH. The kinetic constants of formation of these compounds and their hydrolysis rate constants have been determined. Results show that the α‐position of the carboxyl group of amino acid plays an important role on the mechanism of water attack upon the CNbond. The absence of ionic groups in the surroundings of that bond must be an important factor of stability. Bulky hydrophobic substituents in the amino acid, near the amine part, protect the imine bond against hydrolysis.
