Abstract
under the assay conditions used (Radhakrishnan & Meister, 1957), but the intermediate, 4-hydroxy-A1-pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid, formed in this reaction is decarboxylated by H2,0 at acidic pH values to give y-amino-fl-hydroxybutyric acid. Pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid itself is rather unstable in acid solutions.
