In order to carry out a genetic and biochemical analysis of pteridin pathway eye colour loci, sixteen strains of five eye colour mutants of Drosophila melanogaster (2 dke, 7 sf. 3 se, 3 Hnr and 1 bw) from natural populations were used.

The increase in urban lands and the vegetation loss implies changes in the colour of the background which in turn could cause changes in the coloration of individuals. We measured changes in body lightness of damselflies through 19 sites in Central Mexico, with a different degree of urbanisation and a different percentage of native vegetation. We found

ABSTRACT A 10‐month‐old intact male blue Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) was presented to the Purdue University Small Animal Hospital with multiple bilateral masses on the caudal flank. Comprehensive evaluation using impression cytology, histopathology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed a tumour composed of a mixed‐cell ...

Photo-reduction of Pteridines [PDF]
WHEN a solution of 7-hydroxypteridine1 was spotted on a sheet of Whatman No. 1 filter paper, irradiated with ultra-violet light (principally 254 mµ) for 5 min., and developed (by ascending chromatography) in various solvents, two spots appeared. One of these was identical with the starting material (unirradiated material was used as a control on the ...

Prediction of Fragmentation Pathway of Natural Products, Antibiotics, and Pesticides by ChemFrag
ABSTRACT Because the manual interpretation of ESI‐MSn fragmentation spectra is time‐consuming and usually requires expert knowledge, automated annotation is often sought. The fragmentation software ChemFrag enables the annotation of MSn spectra by combining a rule‐based fragmentation and a semiempirical quantum chemical approach.

Trypanosomatid protozoans are pterin auxotrophs, a finding noted decades ago which heralded the discovery of key metabolic roles played by pteridines in eukaryotes.

A series of new 6-substituted 2,4-diaminopteridines (3-23) and pterins (26-43) have been synthesized by nucleophilic displacement reactions at the side chain of 6-bromomethyl-2,4-diaminopteridine (2) and 6- bromomethylpterin (25) using various types of 0-

ABSTRACT Ectothermic vertebrates exhibit a diverse array of pigment cell types—chromatophores—that provide valuable opportunities to uncover mechanisms of fate specification and how they evolve. Like melanocytes of mammals, the melanophores of teleosts and other ectotherms depend on basic helix–loop–helix leucine zipper transcription factors encoded by

Electronic Structure of Tetrahydropteridine Derivatives
Recently; the 4-amino analogue of tetrahydrobiopterin was found to be a strong inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase while being bound to the enzyme in a manner similar to the natural cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin.
