The M379A mutant of Citrobacter freundii tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) has been prepared. M379A TPL is a robust catalyst to prepare a number of tyrosines substituted at the 3-position with bulky groups that cannot be made with wild type TPL. The three dimensional structures of M379A TPL complexed with L-methionine and 3-bromo-DL-phenylalanine have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Methionine is bound as a quinonoid complex in a closed active site in 3 of 4 chains of homotetrameric M379A TP ...[more]
