1-(N,N-Dihexadecylcarbamoylmethyl)-2-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-formyl-5-hydroxymethylpyridinium chloride (PL+2Cls) undergoes a transamination reaction with L-phenylalanine in single-walled bilayer vesicles formed from two different peptide lipids (N+C5Ala2C16 and N+C5His2CI6); co-ordination of copper(ii) ion to the Schiff-base intermediate results in a marked rate acceleration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
