Phenylpyruvate tautomerase has also been found to exhibit the same keto-enol tautomerism for 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, which is structurally similar to phenylpyruvate but contains an additional hydroxyl moiety in the para position of the aromatic ring.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting keto- and enol-groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylpyruvate keto---enol-isomerase. This enzyme is also called phenylpyruvic keto-enol isomerase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1GYJ, 1GYX, 1GYY, 2GDG, 2OOH, 2OOW, and 2OOZ.

gollark: I do have a physical set somewhere.
gollark: I didn't get round to checking the code beyond skimming it yet.
gollark: Interestingly, the AI in the tic tac toe entry isn't unbeatable and actually quite bad.
