Studies toward the mechanism of allosteric activation in phenylalanine hydroxylase

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH, EC: 1.14.16.1) is a non-heme iron tetrahydropterin-dependent monooxygenase that maintains phenylalanine (L-Phe) homeostasis via conversion of L-Phe to L-Tyr. PAH is an allosteric enzyme that converts from an inactive T-state to an active R-state upon addition of subst...
