abstract	I wish to report the demonstration in a cell-free extract from Escherichia coli of an enzyme capable of transposing groups on both asymmetric carbon atoms of threonine to convert D-threonine to Lthreonine, for which ATP or yeast or muscle adenylic acid serves as a cofactor. In rather limited attempts it has not been possible to demonstrate a vitamin B6 requirement.
