1H-Benzo[g]pteridine-2,4-dione
The structure of the title compound, C10H6N4O2, reported by Smalley et al. [(2021). Cryst. Growth Des. 22, 524–534] from powder diffraction data and 15N NMR spectroscopy, is confirmed using low-temperature data from a twinned crystal. The tautomer in the

Pteridines in the Control of Pigmentation
The influence of UVB irradiation on the metabolic pathway for the production of L-tyrosine from L-phenylalanine in the human epidermis has been examined in 12 healthy volunteers with photo skin types I-VI (Fitzpatrick classification). This metabolic pathway involves the induction of GTP-cyclohydrolase 1 (GTP-CH-1), the rate-limiting enzyme for de novo ...

Tetrahydrobiopterin analogues with NO-dependent pulmonary vasodilator properties [PDF]
Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH4 it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BR, would be able to ...

Glyceryl-Ether Monooxygenase [EC 1.14.16.5J Part VIII. Probing the Nature of the Active Site
The V /K kinetic parameters for glyceryl-ether monooxygenase with 3-1 '-n-alkoxypropane-I,2-diols having alkyl sidechains varying from Cll to C22 (lb-k, 2a and b, and 3d) were determined. Maximum activity was found with the CI6 ethers, dropping almost to

Dendritic Molecular Baskets for Selective Binding of Toxic Methotrexate
Dendritic molecular baskets are biocompatible cavitands capable of including toxic methotrexate (MTX) in their aromatic cavity. The binding is chemoselective with the complex forming in competitive cell media. With the unique mode of recognition and modular structure, dendritic baskets are leading candidates for developing effective antidotes against ...

Analysis by RNA-seq of transcriptomic changes elicited by heat shock in Leishmania major [PDF]
Besides their medical relevance, Leishmania is an adequate model for studying post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene expression. In this microorganism, mRNA degradation/stabilization mechanisms together with translational control and post-translational ...
