Figure 5

Possible ways of D-AA conversion in Arabidopsis thaliana . In the first scenario (A) the applied D-AAs are metabolised by a putative racemase and a D-AA aminotransferase. In the second scenario (B) exogenously applied D-AAs are metabolised under the assumption that in the first step these D-AAs are transaminated to D-Ala/D-Glu by a putative D-AA aminotransferase. The remaining keto acid is then transaminated by a corresponding L-AA aminotransferase.
