'''Tryptophan synthase''' (TrpS) is an α2β2 tetramer participating in the biosynthesis of tryptophan.  TrpS α subunit catalyzes the formation of indole and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) from indole-3-glycerol phosphate (IGP).  The β subunit catalyzes in a pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) dependent reaction the formation of tryptophan (Trp) from indole and serine.  The diffusion of indole from the α to the β subunit is facilitated via a hydrophobic channel connecting the subunits.  TrpS is not found in animals hence it is tested as a possible drug target for tubertculosis, ocular and genital infections, cryptosporidiosis and as herbicide.
