Proton NMR Studies on the Conformation of the Pterin Cofactor Bound at the Active Site of Recombinant Human Tyrosine Hydroxylase

The binding of L-erythro-7,S-dihydrobiopterin (BH2) in the presence of L-Phe to recombinant human tyrosine hydroxylase was studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The distances (± 1.3 A) from the active site metal were estimated to be 5 .3-6.4 A for observable protons of BH2 and 7 .0-7.9 A for L-Phe protons...
