Notes:
Summary Under the action of the appropriate synthase from ripe tomatoes a 1∶1 mixture of (3S, 4R)-[3,4-2H2] and (3R, 4S)-[3,4-2H2]-(2S)-adenosylmethionine is transformed into a 1∶1 mixture of the two meso forms of [2H2]-1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a result which proves the operation of an inversion mechanism and which is consistent with direct nucleophilic displacement of the leaving group in the substrate.
