- Abstract
SEVERAL lines of evidence serve to establish glutamic-γ-semialdehyde as the key intermediate in the pathway of the biosynthesis of proline from either glutamic acid or ornithine1,2. Since glutamic-γ-semialdehyde spontaneously cyclizes nearly completely to Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid2, hydrogenation of the latter becomes a key reaction in the biogenesis of proline.
