Remnants of an ancient metabolism without phosphate [PDF]
Phosphate is essential for all living systems, serving as a building block of genetic and metabolic machinery. However, it is unclear how phosphate could have assumed these central roles on primordial Earth, given its poor geochemical accessibility.

Neopterin, 7,8-dihydroneopterin and 5,6,7,8-terahydroneopterm are secreted by human macrophages after activation by interferon-γ. The biological stability of the reduced pterins is less than one hour and therefore distinctly lower than that of neopterin.

Theoretical study on the relative energies of cationic pterin tautomers
Pterins are heterocyclic molecules of biological importance that contain several basic sites. These molecules can be protonated in aqueous solution resulting in a wide variety of structures that differ in their site of protonation and tautomeric form. In

Dihydrofolate reductase of Streptococcus faecium II. Purification and some properties of two dihydrofolate reductases from the Amethopterin-resistant mutant, Streptococcus Faecium Var. Durans Strain A [PDF]
From a single amethopterin-resistant organism, Streptococcus faecium var. durans strain A, two different dihydrofolate reductases have been obtained as essentially homogeneous proteins in good yield.

First Synthesis of a Representative, Natural Pterin Glycoside: 2’-O-(α-D-Glucopyranosyl)biopterin [PDF]
Glycosylation of N(2)-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-1’-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-[2-(4-nitrophenyl) ethyl]biopterin (14) with the novel donor 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-di-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (19) in the presence of silver triflate and ...
