- Serine decarboxylation is mediated by a serine decarboxylase (SDC) that is unique to plants and has a characteristic N-terminal extension.
- Decarboxylation is a significant reaction pathway for photolabile calcium chelators and related compounds.
- , Baker Laboratory, Ithaca, NY 14853 Decarboxylation is one of the most fundamental biological reactions.
- a - keto acid + R O O O H (- CO 2 ) C O O R O H CH 2 R C O CH 3 > 150 o R OH O O The decarboxylation is a concerted reaction via a cyclic six-centered transition state.
- Experiments recently performed have shown that the rate of decarboxylation is very sensitive to the electron density distribution in the molecule: electron-donating groups (e.
