Its biosynthesis in the body begins with the action of a mutase enzyme on a Chorismate molecule converting it to Prephenate.
Its biosynthesis in the body begins with the action of a mutase enzyme on a Chorismate molecule converting it to Prephenate. If a dehydrogenase enzyme wins out over the dehydratase enzyme then it will not be synthesized as its* para-hydroxy analog will occur. That alternate pathway leads to the creation of tyrosine, which is very similar in structure to this amino acid, as it is normally converted to tyrosine in the body. FTP, identify this amino acid with an aromatic ring, in which a metabolism error causes phenylketonuria.
