FIG. 7. Proposed mechanism of inactivation for ALR by DCS or LCS. DCS and LCS are converted to an identical final aromatic adduct through transamination, transamination, and tautomerization steps. The DCS- or LSC-bound PLP intermediate following the transamination step can be racemized to each counterpart by the same reaction as used for the true substrates.
