• Relevance of Electrostatics for the Interaction of Tyrosine Hydroxylase with Porous Silicon Nanoparticles 

      Bezem, Maria Teresa; Johannessen, Fredrik Gullaksen; Kråkenes, Trond-André; Sailor, Michael J.; Martinez, Aurora (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the enzyme catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine in the brain. Developing enzyme replacement therapies using TH could therefore be beneficial to patient groups with ...
    • Structural mechanism for tyrosine hydroxylase inhibition by dopamine and reactivation by Ser40 phosphorylation 

      Bueno-Carrasco, María Teresa; Cuellar, Jorge; Flydal, Marte Innselset; Santiago, Cesar; Kråkenes, Trond-André; Kleppe, Rune; Jose R, Lopez-Blanco; Marcilla, Miguel; Teigen, Knut; Alvira, Sara; Chacón, Pablo; Martinez, Aurora; Valpuesta, José M (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of dopamine (DA) and other catecholamines, and its dysfunction leads to DA deficiency and parkinsonisms. Inhibition by catecholamines and ...
