Phenylalanine hydroxylase


[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine_hydroxylase Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH)] is the enzyme that determines the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria.


As part of the Imperial 2009 iGEM E.ncapsulator project, E.coli was engineered to synthesise PAH to a tunable threshold, and successfully coat and protect it through the stomach, until release in the small intestine.
