Production and quenching of reactive oxygen species by pterin derivatives, an intriguing class of biomolecules [PDF]
Pterins, a family of heterocyclic compounds derived from 2-aminopteridin-4(1H)-one, are widespread in living systems and participate in important biological functions, such as metabolic redox processes.

Pterin-lysine photoadduct: A potential candidate for photoallergy [PDF]
Photoallergy is a photosensitivity disorder associated with a modified ability of the skin to react to the combined effect of drugs and sunlight. It has been attributed to the covalent conjugation of proteins with a photosensitizer, yielding modified ...

Fluorescence of pterin, 6-formylpterin, 6-carboxypterin and folic acid in aqueous solution: pH effects [PDF]
Steady-state and time-resolved studies have been performed on four compounds of the pterin family (pterin, 6-carboxypterin, 6-formylpterin and folic acid) in aqueous solution, using the single photon counting technique.

Pteridines XCVIII. Synthesis and Properties of 1-Methylpterins
A series of 1-methyl-pterin derivatives (6-13) have been synthesized by condensation and methylation reactions. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, pKa deterimations and UV spectra.

Body coloration and mechanisms of colour production in Archelosauria: the case of deirocheline turtles [PDF]
Animal body coloration is a complex trait resulting from the interplay of multiple mechanisms. While many studies address the functions of animal coloration, the mechanisms of colour production still remain unknown in most taxa.

Theoretical Study on the Relative Energies of Anionic Pterin Tautomers
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.
