INVESTIGATION OF PTERINS BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY/ELECTROCHEMISTRY

, 1984
The pterins are a family of nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds which serve as cofactors to several hydroxylase enzymes. Although a reduced pterin is required for the hydroxylation of several amino acids intimately involved in brain function, the exact ...

Room‐temperature crystal structure of a metal‐dependent W‐formate dehydrogenase by serial synchrotron crystallography

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 1072-1081, September 2026.
We report a room‐temperature serial synchrotron X‐ray crystallographic structural analysis of Nitratidesulfovibrio vulgaris formate dehydrogenase AB, an enzyme that reduces CO2 to formate.Metal‐dependent formate dehydrogenases (Fdhs) are a promising research target in efforts to mitigate climate change by developing active, efficient, selective and ...

Identification of Novel Potential Inhibitors of Pteridine Reductase 1 in Trypanosoma brucei via Computational Structure-Based Approaches and in Vitro Inhibition Assays

Molecules, 2019
Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) is a trypanosomatid multifunctional enzyme that provides a mechanism for escape of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibition. This is because PTR1 can reduce pterins and folates.

Pterin and folate salvage. Plants and Escherichia coli lack capacity to reduce oxidized pterins

, 2007
Dihydropterins are intermediates of folate synthesis and products of folate breakdown that are readily oxidized to their aromatic forms. In trypanosomatid parasites, reduction of such oxidized pterins is crucial for pterin and folate salvage.

From o‐Phenylenediamine to Flavin Derivatives: A Potential Prebiotic Carbon Skeleton Expansion With Formaldehyde, Cyanide, and CO2

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
A Strecker‐type reaction of aromatic ortho‐diamines with various aldehydes and cyanide assembles the bicyclic amidine core of flavin‐derived heterocycles under mild conditions. Subsequent oxidation, radical or photochemical cyanation, carboxylation with CO2, and CO2‐mediated cyclization build the three‐ring alloxazine scaffold. This sequence provides a

Developmental and Phenotypic Outcomes in Mild Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 8, Page 1814-1820, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Benign hyperphenylalaninemia (bHPA) is defined as elevated phenylalanine (Phe) levels remaining ≤ 360 μmol/L (6 mg/dL) and not requiring medical intervention. Individuals with bHPA may demonstrate a rise in their Phe levels > 360 μmol/L, effectively developing a mild PKU phenotype requiring therapy to prevent neurocognitive complications. This

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Chemical Profiling and In Vitro Assessment of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties of Algerian Erica arborea L. Extracts, Strengthened by Molecular Modeling Analysis

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Erica arborea L. from Algeria was valorized via chemical profiling and bioactivity assessment. The EtOAc extract showed the highest levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and flavonols. It exhibited strong antioxidant (ABTS•+, DPPH•, FRAP) and antibacterial activity (S. aureus, B. subtilis).

Testing for the Presence of Photobionts in Eucypris virens (Crustacea: Ostracoda) Green Valves

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustaceans exhibit a wide range of organic pigments with different colorations and functions. However, little is known about the origin and function of the characteristic green pigmentation that podocopid ostracods, and in particular Eucypris virens, exhibit in their valves.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...
