Structural insights into the basis and evolution of interactions in multi-subunit protein assemblies. tryptophan synthase and titin FNIII-repeats [PDF]
Cellular processes benefit from evolutionary shaping when optimized protein-protein interactions result in enhanced functionality. In fact, most cellular proteins are tightly embedded into biological networks that function following a modularity ...

The Engagement of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Tryptophan Metabolism
Tryptophan is metabolized along three main metabolic pathways, namely the kynurenine, serotonin and indole pathways. The majority of tryptophan is transformed via the kynurenine pathway, catalyzed by tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase or indoleamine-2,3 ...

Tryptophan metabolites in depression: Modulation by gut microbiota
Clinical depression is a multifactorial disorder and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The alterations in tryptophan metabolism such as changes in the levels of serotonin, kynurenine, and kynurenine acid have been implicated in the ...
