In enzymology, a phenylserine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-threo-3-phenylserine glycine + benzaldehyde

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-threo-3-phenylserine, and two products, glycine and benzaldehyde.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-threo-3-phenylserine benzaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming). This enzyme is also called L-threo-3-phenylserine benzaldehyde-lyase. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1V72.
