The metabolic pathway of 1-methylhydantoin (2) via 5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin (3), methylparabanic acid (4) and N5-methyloxaluric acid (5) proved to be a major and general one in mammals. Hence the formation of (3), which has not been detected in normal tissue, is

We developed a thin-film enzymic assay for creatinine that makes use of creatinine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21) to convert creatinine to N-methylhydantoin and ammonia. The ammonia diffuses through a semipermeable layer and is quantitated by reaction with bromphenol blue. A paired

A new enzyme, N-methylhydantoin amidohydrolase, was highly purified from Pseudomonas putida 77: it catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-methylhydantoin to N-carbamoylsarcosine with the concomitant stoichiometric cleavage of ATP to ADP and orthophosphate. The enzyme absolutely requires ATP, MG2+ and K+ for
