Folding dynamics of phenylalanine hydroxylase depends on the enzyme's metallation state: the native metal, iron, protects against aggregate intermediates.
Journal Article European biophysics journal : EBJ · August 2011 Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), a non-heme iron enzyme, is responsible for the phenylalanine conversion to tyrosine. Its malfunction causes phenylketonuria (PKU). To better understand how protein structure and folding profiles are affected by the metal co ...

Journal Article Inorganic chemistry · June 2008 The kinetics of thermal unfolding of apo- and holo-Chromobacterium violaceum phenylalanine hydroxylase (cPAH) was investigated using circular dichroism (CD) over the temperature range 44-76 degrees C. In addition to the native cofactor (FeII), the unfoldin ... Full text CiteReaction mechanisms of mononuclear non-heme iron oxygenases.
