Towards the Characterization of Enzymes Involved in the Metabolism of Tyrosine and Tyrosine Derivatives
Tyrosine is involved in many biological processes including protein synthesis. This dissertation is focused on two different aspects: tyrosine catabolism and tyrosine derivative metabolism. Tyrosine undergoes degradation via tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT). Deficiency of TAT leads to some disease co...
