Abstract
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.
