Abstract
This laboratory first became interested in hydroxyguanidine as a result of our studies on the mechanism of action of transamidination enzymes. We have found that transamidinases from Streptomyces griseus (2), mammalian pancreas (3) and kidney (4), and chicken and frog liver (5) can catalyze a transfer of the terminal formamidine group of arginine to hydroxylamine, with the formation of hydroxyguanidine.
