Plant screening for tyrosine/phenylalanine ammonia lyase and biochemical characterisation, purification and cloning of the tyrosine/phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme from Trichosporon cutaneum
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.24) catalyzes the conversion of phenylalanine (Phe) to trans cinnamic acid and, in some instances tyrosine (Tyr) to para hydroxycinnamic acid (pHCA). The specificity of PAL for Phe relative to Tyr varies by over 10⁶ between biological sources. An understa...
