	abstract = {We report that D-N-hydroxyglutamate is ii competitive inhibitor of glutamate racemase (K-I=56 mu M). The compound acts as an alternate substrate and is converted into a-ketoglutarate and ammonia (K-M=57 mu M, k(cat)/K-M=3.2x10(3) M(-1)sec(-1)), An imine intermediate is likely the species causing the inhibition. L-N-hydroxyglutamate is a weak inhibitor and is slowly converted to alpha-ketoglutarate (k(cat)/K-M=30 M(-1)sec(-1)). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.},

	abstract = {Aziridino-glutamate (2-(2-carboxyethyl)aziridine-2-carboxylic acid, (+/-)4) was synthesized by heating alpha-fluoromethylglutamate in base. In neutral solution, 4 was shown to cyclize to the gamma-lactone 5 with a half life of 4 minutes. Aziridino-glutamate was shown to irreversibly inactivate glutamate racemase by alkylating an active site cysteine residue, Electrospray mass spectrometry was used to establish that a covalent bond had famed and that this bond protects one of the enzyme{\textquoteright}s two cysteine residues from reacting with iodoacetate under denaturing conditions.},
