| - | '''Tryptophan synthase''' (TrpS) is an α2β2 tetramer participating in the biosynthesis of tryptophan (Trp)<ref>PMID:11893063</ref>. TrpS '''α subunit''' catalyzes the formation of indole and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) from indole-3-glycerol phosphate (IGP). The '''β subunit''' catalyzes in a pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) dependent reaction the formation of tryptophan (Trp) from indole and serine. The diffusion of indole from the α to the β subunit is facilitated via a hydrophobic channel connecting the subunits.
