The transamination reaction of α-amino acids with glyoxylic acid as catalyzed by copper(II) ions was investigated kinetically in an aqueous medium at pH 5·0 and 30·0°C. L-Phenylalanine transferred its amino group to glyoxylic acid most readily among seven different amino acids used here in the single-walled bilayer vesicle formed with N,N-dihexadecyl-Nα-[6-(trimethylammonio)hexanoyl]-L-histidinamide bromide (N+C5His2C16). Such rate enhancement was found to originate from the cooperative trifunctional catalysis: a coordination effect exercised by copper(II) ions, a general acid-base catalysis by the imidazolyl group of the lipid, and a hydrophobic field effect provided by the bilayer vesicle. Lack of any of the three functions failed to give out significant rate enhancement. As regards correlation between the reactivity and the nature of α-amino acids, the copper(II)-catalyzed transamination was progressively enhanced as hydrophobicity of the α-amino acid was increased in the N+C5His2C16 vesicle.
