2.6.1.113	1,2-diaminoethane + pyruvate	38% of the activity with beta-alanine	
2.6.1.113	1,6-diaminohexane + pyruvate	87% of the activity with beta-alanine	
2.6.1.113	1,7-diaminoheptane + pyruvate	92% of the activity with beta-alanine	
2.6.1.113	1,8-diaminooctane + pyruvate	55% of the activity with beta-alanine	
2.6.1.113	beta-alanine + pyruvate	best substrate	
2.6.1.113	cadaverine + pyruvate	12% of the activity with beta-alanine	
2.6.1.113	additional information	one of the two amino groups of 1,2-diaminoethane, putrescine and cadaverine transaminates to pyruvate. The transamination between putrescine and pyruvate proceeds by a ping-pong bi bi mechanism. No substrate: 1,3-diaminopropane	
2.6.1.113	putrescine + pyruvate	55% of the activity with beta-alanine
