A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.1.109

Accepted Name
Phenylacetaldehyde synthase.
Reaction catalysed
L-phenylalanine + O(2) + H(2)O <=> phenylacetaldehyde + CO(2) + NH(3) + H(2)O(2)
Cofactor(s)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
Comment(s)
The enzyme, isolated from the the plants Petunia hybrida and a Rosa hybrid, catalyzes the production of phenylacetaldehyde directly from L-phenylalanine. The enzyme is specific for L-phenylalanine and does not accept other aromatic amino acids as substrates.
