Shouldn't the reaction go the other way if it is a synthase? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.84.176 (talk) 10:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably... As with most enzymes there is probably some interchangeability between substrates and products. I am not aware of anyone treating this particular enzyme as a lyase, in the literature it is considered a synthase and several studies have investigated it's action on tryptamine derivatives as precursors... Someone familiar with wikipedia-policies ought to look into the praxis for enzymology in this encyclopedia. 81.224.47.12 (talk) 18:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
