ABSTRACT
The aromatic amino acid hydroxylases phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase, and tryptophan hydroxylase utilize a non-heme iron to catalyze the hydroxylation of the aromatic rings of their amino acid substrates, with a tetrahydropterin serving as the source of the electrons necessary for the monooxygenation reaction. These enzymes have been subjected to a variety of biochemical and biophysical approaches, resulting in a detailed understanding of their structures and mechanism. We summarize here the experimental approaches that have led to this understanding.
