Abstract excerpt
Residues D271, H192, H302 and N300 of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (DDC), a homodimeric pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) enzyme, were mutated in order to acquire information on the catalytic mechanism. These residues are potential participants in catalysis because they belong to the common PLP-binding structural motif of group I, II and III decarboxylases and other PLP enzymes, and because they are...
