The <scene name='56/564049/Binding/1'>Catalytic site</scene> for the cofactor PLP and the substrate histidine is located at the large domain. Since Histidine methyl ester (HME) is a substrate analog, PLP-HME can be utilized to demonstrate the binding interaction for the substrate-enzyme transition state at the active site <ref name=jbc/> <ref name=inhibition>PMID:850236</ref>. A one-dimensional representation of PLP-HME residing in the binding pocket can be seen in Figure 3. The hydrophobic pocket of the active site are produced by several hydrophobic amino acids including Trp-72, Tyr-80, Leu-102, Phe-104, Ala-275, Tyr-334, Ile-436 (Figure 3). This hydrophobic pocket allow for the substrate to be protected from the solvent during the catalytic reaction.
