abstract Modification of leucine aminotransferase by diethylpyrocarbonate or rose bengal-sensitized photo-oxidation caused rapid inactivation of the enzyme. The inactivation of leucine aminotransferase depended on the concentration of the reagent, the time of incubation and exhibited pseudo-first order kinetics. Rose bengal-sensitized photo-oxidation was maximum at pH 6.5 and 9. Substrates leucine and alpha-ketoglutarate protected the enzyme against inactivation by these reagents, thus suggesting participation of histidine residue at the substrate binding site.
