Single-Enzyme Conversion of Tryptophan to Skatole and Cyanide Expands the Mechanistic Competence of Diiron Oxidases. [PDF]
J Am Chem SocSkatole is a pungent heterocyclic compound derived from the essential amino acid l-tryptophan by bacteria in the mammalian digestive tract. The four-step anaerobic conversion of tryptophan to skatole is well-established; though, to date, no aerobic ...
