Tryptophan synthase is a classic enzyme that channels a metabolic intermediate, indole. | Tryptophan Synthase is an ideal model for illustrating the complex protein-protein interactions that occur between biomolecules. Each subunit communicates with the other cooperatively to maximize the catalytic rate of the synthesis of L-tryptophan from indole-3-glycerol-phosphate. The overall synthesis is completed by the substrate binding to the active site in the a-subunit, the product then channeled to the b-subunit active site, and then the product released.
