}}3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine reductive deaminase ({{EC number|4.3.1.22}}, reductive deaminase, DOPA-reductive deaminase, DOPARDA) is an enzyme with systematic name 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropanoate-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
L-dopa + 2 NADH3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropanoate + 2 NAD+ + NH3
This enzyme participates in the L-phenylalanine-catabolism in the anaerobic phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5.
