Disorders of biopterin metabolism [PDF]
SummaryDefects in the metabolism or regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) were initially discovered in patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia who had progressive neurological deterioration despite optimal metabolic control (malignant hyperphenylalaninaemia).

Tetrahydro‐6‐biopterin is associated with tetrahydro‐7‐biopterin in primary murine mast cells [PDF]
Murine bone marrow‐derived mast cells proliferate in response to interleukin 3. In addition to 6‐biopterin, 7‐biopterin was identified in these cells by HPLC analysis of iodine oxidized extracts and by alkaline permanganate oxidation to the 6‐ and 7‐carboxylic acids. 7‐Biopterin comprised 31.9 (± 7.7)% of the total biopterin.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Abstract Background Childhood‐onset hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a range of genetic conditions. Recently, there has been an increase in recognition of hyperkinetic movement disorders, mainly dystonia, chorea and dyskinesia, with monogenic conditions associated with neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) and also with developmental and epileptic ...

ABSTRACT Background Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the progressive destruction of melanocytes, resulting in depigmented skin macules. While traditionally viewed as a cutaneous disorder driven by a specific CD8+ T cell‐mediated interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) signature, emerging research suggests that vitiligo may be a systemic condition

A computational study on the structure, dynamics and catalytic mechanism is reported on thymine hydroxylase that shows substrate locked inside the protein and enables three successive catalytic cycles for (1) thymine hydroxylation, 2) 5‐hydroxymethyluracil desaturation, and (3) 5‐formyluracil hydroxylation to form carboxylic acid products.

Biopterin in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin is an essential co-factor in the natural synthesis of dopamine. Oral tetrahydrobiopterin was given in small doses to four patients with early Parkinson's disease but had no discernible effect.

A comprehensive meta‐analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) across five diverse tomato populations reveals a high‐resolution atlas of transcriptional regulation and uncovers conserved and population‐specific regulatory architectures underlying fruit nutritional quality traits, including flavonoids, sugars, organic acids, carotenoids ...

Developmental and Phenotypic Outcomes in Mild Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency
ABSTRACT Benign hyperphenylalaninemia (bHPA) is defined as elevated phenylalanine (Phe) levels remaining ≤ 360 μmol/L (6 mg/dL) and not requiring medical intervention. Individuals with bHPA may demonstrate a rise in their Phe levels > 360 μmol/L, effectively developing a mild PKU phenotype requiring therapy to prevent neurocognitive complications. This

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient
