The apparent rate constants for formation ( k 1 ) and hydrolysis ( k 2 ) of the Schiff bases formed by reaction of pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate with L ‐tryptophan were determined at various pH values, at different temperatures and at constant ionic strength (0.1 M ). Also obtained were the elementary rate constants for formation and hydrolysis of the Schiff bases corresponding to the different chemical species present in the media, and the p K values of the Schiff's bases. The activation and thermodynamic parameters for the formation and hydrolysis of the Schiff's bases also were determined. Some of the Δ H 0 and Δ S 0 values for the individual processes were found to be positive. In basic media the enthalpic factor is unfavorable but the entropic contribution leads to a negative Δ G 0 .
