Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin. The inherent instability of TPH has prevented a crystallographic structure from being resolved. For this reason, multiple sequence alignment-based molecular modeling was utilized to generate a full-length model of human TPH. Previously determined crystal coordinates of two highly homologous proteins,...
