Revealing Reactivity in Cancer-Associated Heme Proteins: Novel Time-Resolved Structural Approaches

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a heme-containing enzyme involved in the degradation of tryptophan to kynurenine. Cancer cells upregulate IDO1 to escape normal immune responses and, in many cases, a high expression of IDO1 is connected to poor prognosis. Read more
