Abstract excerpt
L-DOPA (L-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is a promising drug for Parkinson's disease and thereby has a growing annual demand. Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL)-based catalysis is considered to be a low-cost yet efficient route for biosynthesis of L-DOPA. TPL is a tetrameric enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of L-DOPA from pyrocatechol, sodium pyruvate, and ammonium acetate. The implementation of TPL for L-DOPA production...
