Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...

The homology of complement factor C8 gamma chain and alpha-1-microglobulin
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1987 The sequence of the complement factor C8 gamma chain shares a remarkable degree of similarity with that of alpha-1-microglobulin, a member of the alpha-2u-globulin superfamily. This superfamily comprises a diverse group of distantly related animal proteins possessing characteristic structural features and similar functions.
