The regulation of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in Nocardia sp. 239 was studied. In cell-free extracts 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase activity was inhibited in a cumulative manner by tryptophan, phenylalanine and tyrosine. Chorismate mutase was inhibited by both phenyl

## Abstract The biosynthesis of serotonin requires aromatic substrates to be bound in the active sites of the enzymes tryptophan hydroxylase and aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. These aromatic substrates are held in place partially by dispersion and induction interactions with the enzymes' aromat
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) levels and GTP cyclohydrolase activity (GTP-CH) were measured in tissues from mutants and controls of 24 different mouse strains to identify mutants that might be suitable models for diseases which are characterized by a deficiency of the biopterin cofactor, such as parkins
Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) are involved in the synthesis of dopamine and other monoamine neurotransmitters, and their activities can be regulated by a number of physiological stimuli. An interesting finding has been that (2)-deprenyl and some other irrev
