The interaction of transketolase ketosubstrates with the holoenzyme has been studied. On addition of ketosubstrates cleaving both irreversibly (hydroxypyruvate) and reversibly (xylulose 5-phosphate), identical changes in the CD spectrum at 300-360 nm are observed. The changes in this spectral region
