Substrate-protein interaction in human tryptophan dioxygenase: the critical role of H76.

Journal of the American Chemical Society - 11 Mar 2009

Batabyal Dipanwita, Yeh Syun-Ru

Abstract excerpt

The initial and rate-limiting step of the kynurenine pathway in humans involves the oxidation of tryptophan to N-formyl kynurenine catalyzed by two hemeproteins, tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (hTDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (hIDO). In hTDO, the conserved H76 residue is believed to act as an a...
