TAL monomer.
  • Tyrosine Ammonia Lyase (TAL) - Begins the resveratrol biosynthetic pathway by catalyzing the the conversion of L-tyrosine to ammonia and p-coumaric acid. TAL also has activity as Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) via conversion of L-phenylalanine to ammonia and trans-cinnamic acid. The Rhodotorula glutinis TAL was selected specifically because of its relatively high TAL/PAL activity ratio, and its successful expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli. The p-coumaric acid produced by TAL will later be converted to resveratrol, while the trans-cinnamic acid will add a "floral" and "honey-like" bouquet to the beer.
