-'''DODC''' (Decarboxylative Oxidative Dimethylallyltryptophan Synthase) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of [[tryptophan]]-derived secondary metabolites. It is a member of the [[aromatic prenyltransferase]] family, which is involved in the biosynthesis of various natural products. DODC catalyzes the decarboxylative prenylation of tryptophan, a key step in the biosynthesis of dimethylallyltryptophan.

-DODC is involved in the biosynthesis of [[indole alkaloids]], a class of secondary metabolites that are derived from tryptophan. These compounds have a wide range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer properties. DODC catalyzes the transfer of a dimethylallyl group from dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) to the indole ring of tryptophan, resulting in the formation of dimethylallyltryptophan.

-== Structure ==
+=== Definition ===
-DODC is a monomeric enzyme that contains a single [[active site]]. The active site is located in a deep pocket within the enzyme, which is lined with residues that interact with the substrates and catalyze the reaction. The enzyme also contains a [[Mg2+]] ion, which is required for activity.

The concept emphasizes adaptability, continuous improvement, and the integration of new technologies and methodologies to enhance organizational performance.
-== Mechanism ==
+=== Structure ===
-The mechanism of DODC involves the decarboxylation of DMAPP to generate a reactive allyl cation, which then attacks the indole ring of tryptophan. This results in the formation of a carbon-carbon bond and the release of a proton, producing dimethylallyltryptophan.
