Molecular architecture of pterin deaminase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3458
Pteridines, 2017 As early as 1974, reports have confirmed the anticancer activity of pterin deaminase isolated from fungi. The enzyme has also been reported in bacteria, fungi and slime mold genera, but the enzyme characterization was effetely done.

Theoretical Study on the Relative Energies of Anionic Pterin Tautomers
Pteridines, 2009 Pterins exist as several tautomeric forms and behave as weak acids in aqueous solutions. Therefore, several acidbase equilibria may be present. For several pterin derivatives, the range of the experimental pKa lies in the range 6-8.

Mechanistic Study of ROS-photogeneration by Pterin
Pteridines, 2011 Pterins are widespread in biological systems and possess photosensitizing activities. In the present study, the photosensitization mechanism of acid form of pterin (PTA) and basic form of pterin (PTB) is investigated by means of density functional theory

Eumelanin and pheomelanin are predominant pigments in bumblebee (Apidae: Bombus) pubescence [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) are well known for their important inter- and intra-specific variation in hair (or pubescence) color patterns, but the chemical nature of the pigments associated with these patterns is not fully ...
