Abstract

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase is a key enzyme in the phenolic metabolism of plants. Aspects of kinetics of this enzyme are reviewed. Of the several models, the partially concerted model of subunit interactions accounts most fully for its kinetic behaviour. A form of cucumber PAL reverses the usual reaction catalysed by the enzyme under the standard assay conditions. The partially concerted model has been applied to explain the kinetics of this new form of PAL.
