Application

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase has been used in a study to assess the effect of heat treatment on lignification of postharvest bamboo shoots. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of light on gene expression and podophyllotoxin biosynthesis in Linum album cell culture.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase from Rhodotorula glutinis can be cleaved and inactivated by the proteases chymotrypsin, subtilisin, and trypsin.

Unit Definition

One unit will deaminate 1.0 μmole of L-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamate and NH3 per min at pH 8.5 at 30 °C.
