Biochemical Mechanisms Leading to Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase Activation

Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) is the first enzyme in the tryptophan oxidation pathway. It is a hemoprotein and its heme prosthetic group is present as a heme-ferric (heme-Fe(3+)) form that is not active. To be able to oxidize tryptophan, the heme-Fe(3+) form of the enzyme must be reduced to a hem...
