The reactions of deamination and decarboxylation of amino acids were investigated experimentally and quantum chemically on the basis of ..cap alpha..,..gamma..-diaminobutyric and aspartic acids under the action of tritium ions. These processes occur most efficiently through the addition of a tritium atom to the carboxyl group of the amino acid in the form of a zwitterion, followed by intramolecular neutralization of charges and elimination of ammonia.
