It is well established that there are two different classes of enzymes-tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-that catalyse the O-dependent oxidation of L-tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine. But it was not always so. This perspective presents a short history of the early TDO and IDO literature, the people that were involved in creating it, and the legacy that this left for the future.
众所周知,有两类不同的酶——色氨酸2,3-双加氧酶(TDO)和吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶(IDO)——可催化L-色氨酸依赖氧氧化为N-甲酰犬尿氨酸。但情况并非一直如此。本文简要回顾了早期TDO和IDO文献的历史、参与其中的人员以及这为未来留下的遗产。
