Identification and Partial Characterization of an L-Tyrosine Aminotransferase (TAT) from Arabidopsis thaliana

Figure 5

Detection of TAT activity in the forward and reverse directions. Both graphs show the correlation between reaction rate and the amount of enzyme added to the reaction. (a) shows the synthesis of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (square) and phenylpyruvate (triangle) in the forward direction, while (b) shows the synthesis of 2-ketoglutarate synthesized from 4-hyrdoxyphenylpyruvate (square) and phenylpyruvate (triangle) in the reverse direction. The standard assays used for this analysis are described in Section 2.
