Glyoxylate carboligase: A unique thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzyme that can cycle between the 4′-aminopyrimidinium and 1′,4′- iminopyrimidine tautomeric forms in the absence of the conserved glutamate

Glyoxylate carboligase (GCL) is a thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzyme, which catalyzes the decarboxylation of glyoxylate and ligation to a second molecule of glyoxylate to form tartronate semialdehyde (TSA). This enzyme is unique among ThDP enzyme

REACTION OF 1,2,4-TRIMETHYLBENZENE WITH PERACETIC ACID

The oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene with peracetic acid leads to the formation of trimethylphenols and hydroquinones, which undergo transformations to the corresponding benzoquinones and products from oxidative cleavage of the ring.The controlling stage of the process is the electrophilic hydroxylation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.
