-
the rate of Thr deamination by PfTrpS is 8.5fold faster than with Ser, competitive with the rate of beta-substitution. Substrate differentiation mechanism of the enzyme, molecular dynamics simulations analysis, overview

?
L-serine + indole
L-tryptophan + H2O
-
Ser and IGP react with a coupling efficiency of over 99% and only trace indole is released into solution by cells

?
L-serine + indole
L-tryptophan + H2O
-
L-serine is the preferred substrate

?
L-serine + indole
L-tryptophan + H2O
-
the enzyme is involved in L-tryptophan biosynthesis. TrpB2 does not interact with TrpA as in the case of TrpB1. TrpB2 provides an alternate route to generate Trp from serine and free indole (indole salvage)

?
L-threonine + indole
(2S,3S)-beta-methyltryptophan + H2O
-
only 17% of the indole that is released from the alpha-subunit goes on to form beta-MeTrp, demonstrating that the release of indole is decoupled from product formation. Thr binds non-covalently to the isolated beta-subunit, indicating that the beta-methyl group hinders entry into the catalytic cycle. The beta-methyl of Thr causes a steric clash that destabilizes the E(Aex1) intermediate
