Tryptophan oxidation by the heme-containing dioxygenases
In biology, the kynurenine pathway is the major degradation pathway of tryptophan (L-Trp). The first and rate-limiting step is the oxidation of L-Trp to N-formylkynurenine (NFK). The mechanism of this oxygen-dependent reaction has not been established, but is catalysed by two heme-containing dioxyge...
