Abstract
Interest in the possibility of replacing essential amino acids in the diet with synthetic products more or less closely related in chemical structure has led us to synthesize β -3-indoleacrylic acid and α-oximino-β-3-indolepropionic acid and feed them to rats in conjunction with a diet deficient in tryptophane. Reports in the literature on the availability of β-4-imidazoleacrylic acid in supplementing diets deficient in histidine are conflicting. No α-oximino acid has been studied in this connection. The oxime of pyruvic acid, however, has been shown to undergo reduction, in the presence of vigorously fermenting yeast, to alanine.
