Abstract excerpt
The alpha-subunit of Escherichia coli tryptophan synthase (aTS), a component of the tryptophan synthase alpha2beta2 complex, is a monomeric 268-residues protein (Mr = 28,600). alphaTS by itself catalyzes the cleavage of indole-3-glycerol phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and indole, which is converted to tryptophan in tryptophan biosynthesis. Wild-type and P28L/Y173F double mutant alpha-subunits were...
