PLP-Dependent α-Oxoamine Synthases: Phylogenetic Analysis, Structural Plasticity, and Structure-Function Studies on 5-Aminolevulinate Synthase

5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) and 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase (AONS) are two of four homodimeric members of the alpha-oxoamine synthase family of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes. The evolutionary relationships among α-oxoamine synthases representing a broad taxonomic and...
