Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes play a crucial role in nitrogen metabolism. Carbonyl compounds, such as O-substituted hydroxylamines, stand out among numerous specific inhibitors of these enzymes, including those of practical importance, because they react with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in the active site of the enzymes to form stable oximes. O-substituted hydroxylamines mimic the side group of amino acid substrates, thus providing highly potent and specific inhibition of the corresponding enzymes. The interaction between D-amino acid transaminase from bacterium Haliscomenobacter hydrossis and 3-aminooxypropionic acid was studied in the present work. The structural and spectral analyses of the complex of this transaminase with 3-aminooxypropionic acid allowed us to clarify some features of the organization and functioning of its active site and illustrate one of the mechanisms of inhibition by the specific substrate, D-glutamic acid.
