Pushing at the Boundaries of Pterin Chemistry [PDF]
MoleculesPterins are molecules of substantial interest as they occur in nature in a number of forms with quite distinct and often indispensable roles. Chemically, the synthesis of the principle pterin scaffold is comparably simple, while the insolubility of the ...

A model to understand type I oxidations of biomolecules photosensitized by pterins
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2021 Photosensitized oxidations, in part responsible for the harmful effect of UV and visible radiation on biological systems, can take place through type I (generation of radicals) and type II (singlet oxygen) mechanisms.

Comparative metabolism of conjugated and unconjugated pterins in Crithidia, Leishmania and African trypanosomes. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesMammalian cells synthesise tetrahydrobiopterin de novo, an essential cofactor for hydroxylation of aromatic amino acids, cleavage of ether lipids and the synthesis of nitric oxide.

Pterin function in bacteria [PDF]
Pteridines, 2017 Pterins are widely conserved biomolecules that play essential roles in diverse organisms. First described as enzymatic cofactors in eukaryotic systems, bacterial pterins were discovered in cyanobacteria soon after.

CSF Amino Acids, Pterins and Mechanism of the Ketogenic Diet
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2015 Investigators from Hospital Sant Joan de Deu, Barcelona, Spain, studied the relationship between the etiology of refractory childhood epilepsy, CSF neurotransmitters, pterins, and amino acids, and response to a ketogenic diet in 60 patients with ...
