Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase of Bamboo Shoots [PDF]
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) was purified from bamboo shoots (Bambusa oldhami Munro) through steps of DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration, and a second DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the purified enzyme (Mr 360, 000) still contained two minor bands with much ...

Fungal and Plant Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase [PDF]
L-Phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in mammals in adequate amounts to meet the requirements for protein synthesis. Fungi and plants are able to synthesize phenylalanine via the shikimic acid pathway. L-Phenylalanine, derived from the shikimic acid pathway, is used directly for protein synthesis in plants or ...
