Some ideas for Urocanase page:

1. What is urocanase made of
   1. 676 amino acids long
   2. coded for by the UROC1 gene on the 3rd chromasome
   3. composed of 2 almost identical subunits making it a homodimer
2. What does it do
   1. aids in the catabolism of L-histidine
   2. catalyzes the hydrolysis of urocanate
3. How does it do what it does
   1. The enzyme uses NAD+ as an electrophile which leads to the sigmatropic rearrangement of urocanate
   2. The rearrangement allows the water to attack and hydrolyze the urocanate which turns the urocanate into imidizolone propinate
4. What happens if it doesn't do what it is supposed to
   1. The catalysis of L-histidine stops at urocanate
5. where is it found/ in what organisms
   1. Klebsiella aerogenes bacteria
   2. ox liver
   3. cat liver
   4. chicken liver
6. what helps it do what it does
7. can it be used elsewhere
