Abstract
Selenocystamine is oxidatively deaminated by pig kidney diamineoxidase. The first product of the reaction is the corresponding cyclized aminoaldehyde, selenocystaldimine, which then undergoes further degradation. The oxidative deamination is thus the first step of a series of cyclic reactions which give rise to extensive cleavage of selenocystamine.
