Comparison between a Biochemical Pathway and Organic Chemical Synthesis by Josep J Centelles in Archive of organic and inorganic chemical sciences in Lupine Publishers

The first reaction of biochemical degradation pathway from L-phenylalanine to L-tyrosine (para-hydroxy-L-phenylalanine) is compared with organic chemical synthesis of ortho-hydroxy-Lphenylalanine, meta-hydroxy-L-phenylalanine and para-hydroxy- L-phenylalanine. Enzymatic reaction is specific for the para- isomer, is a quicker reaction and shows higher yield than non enzymatic reactions.
