'''Tetramerization Domain''' | '''Tetramerization Domain''' | ||
Phenylalanine Hydroxylase exists in equilibrium between a homodimer and a homotetramer. The region responsible for the tertamerization is the <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_642/Tetramerization_domain/1'>tetramerization domain</scene> located at the C terminal end of the protein. It consists of residues 411-452. The tetramerization domain consists of 2 beta-strands forming a beta-ribbon and an alpha-helix that is 40 angstroms long. The four alpha helices, consisting of one from each monomer, pack into a coil coil motif with the helices arranged in an anti parallel manner.<ref> Erlandsen H., DirSci; Marianne G.

'''Regulatory Domain''' | |||
Housed in the N-terminus, the regulatory domain contains residues 19-142 and is more flexible than the other domains. The core of this domain contains an alpha beta sandwich and a beta alpha beta double motif. <ref> Bostjan Kobe, Ian G. Jennings, Colin M. House1, Belinda J. Michell, Kenneth E. Goodwill, Bernard D.
