Cystathionamine and selenocystathionamine, diamines analogous to 1,6-diaminohexane but having the third methylene group of the carbon chain substituted by a S or a Se atom, are asimmetrical thio- (seleno-) ethers. They can give rise by oxidative monodeamination to two different aminoaldehydes. It has been shown that lentil seedlings amineoxidase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of either the one or the other aminogroup of cystathionamine or of selenocystathionamine, giving rise to both possible aminoaldehydes.

Abstract
Cystathionamine and selenocystathionamine, diamines analogous to 1,6-diaminohexane but having the third methylene group of the carbon chain substituted by a S or a Se atom, are asimmetrical thio- (seleno-) ethers. They can give rise by oxidative monodeamination to two different aminoaldehydes. It has been shown that lentil seedlings amineoxidase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of either the one or the other aminogroup of cystathionamine or of selenocystathionamine, giving rise to both possible aminoaldehydes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
