Abstract excerpt
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and hydroxymandelate synthase (HMS) each catalyze similar complex dioxygenation reactions using the substrates 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) and dioxygen. The reactions differ in that HPPD hydroxylates at the ring C1 and HMS at the benzylic position. The HPPD reaction is more complex in that hydroxylation at C1 instigates a 1,2-shift of an aceto substituent. Despite that...
