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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylketonuria phenylketonuria].#PAH1
The action of PAH is as follows: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine Phenylalanine] is broken down to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine tyrosine], which is an essential step in the production of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catecholamine catecholamines].

PAH works well at a PH of around 7.4, and is denatured at temperatures above 30 degrees celsius (in experiments with gram-negative bacteria)#PAH2
