==Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase==


Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) catalyses the first and committed step in the phenyl propanoid pathway, forming ''trans''-cinnamic acid by non-oxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine. Biosynthesis of polyphenol compounds are found in lignin in plants, some yeast and fungi.<ref name="science">http://www.sciencedirect.com.prox.lib.ncsu.edu/science/article/pii/S0031942200804653</ref> It is classified as a [[lyase]].
