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. Tryptophan synthase is a classic enzyme that channels a metabolic intermediate, indole.
