| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme from Chromobacterium violaceum is specific for tryptophan
derivatives possessing its carboxyl group free or as an amide or
ester, and an unsubstituted indole ring.
- Also catalyzes the alpha,beta dehydrogenation of L-tryptophan side
chains in peptides.
- The product of the reaction can hydrolyze spontaneously to form
indolepyruvate.
- Formerly EC 1.4.3.17.
