Abstract
THE metabolic significance of transaminases in nervous tissues has recently been reviewed by Bonavita1. His paper reveals that interest in transanimations of amino-acids in nervous tissues solely comprised the aliphatic compounds. In this communication evidence is presented of transamination of aromatic amino-acids in the nervous tissues, that is, rat brain extracts.
