Cystathionine beta-lyase (CBL) is a member of the gamma-family of PLP-dependent enzymes, that cleaves C beta-S bonds of a broad variety of substrates. The crystal structure of CBL from E. coli has been solved using MIR phases in combination with

Trifluoroalanine is a mechanism-based inactivator of Escherichia coli tryptophan indole-lyase (tryptophanase) and E. coli tryptophan synthase (R. B. Silverman and R. H. Abeles, 1976, Biochemistry 15, 4718-4723). We have found that indole is able to prevent inactivation of tryptophan indole-lyase

Inactivation of gamma-cystathionase by beta, beta, beta-trifluoroalanine, a suicide inactivator of the enzyme, results in covalent labeling of an amino group of the protein [Silverman, R. B., & Abeles, R. H. (1977) Biochemistry 16, 5515-5520]. We have established that this

The alanine racemase from Escherichia coli B has been shown to process DL isomers of beta -fluoroalanine as suicide substrates with an identical partitioning ratio for each enantiomer of 820 catalytic eliminations of HF per enzymatic inactivation event [Wang, E.
