I have been trying to find the following information and had no luck.
Could somebody please explain -
"How does the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase generate
tyrosine?"

As part of my previous question where I can not find the information.
"What general type of reactions does Ligases catalyse?"

I'm sorry to do that to you you, but you've been on the forums for a little while, and you should know:  we want to help, give you a hint, help you learn, etc.  But a definition is just something you lookup on your own.  There's no help to it.

[EDIT]

I've merged your latest question with your previous unanswered one.  Can you take a stab at that one on your own?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

kevsim,

Most introductory biochemistry textbooks will at least provide reactants and products.  What do you know about phenylalanine hydroxylase so far, and how have you learned it?  With respect to your other question there are six general classes of enzymes, and these are also covered in a good biochemistry textbook.

Babcock_Hall,
Thanks for a sensible reply, at least I have a lead where to find the information.
I am presently using 2 expensive chemistry books, but neither give the information I am after.
