Degeneration of Rat Retina is Paralleled by an Imbalance of the Redox Mechanism of Pteridines

open access: yesPteridines, 1996
The RCS rat suffers from a genetic degeneration of retinal cell We have examined the pattern of oxidized and reduced monapterin and biopterin in retinas from RCS retinas and controls.

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

The pterin molybdenum cofactors.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
crassa, demonstrated that the inactive apoprotein of nitrate reductase in extracts of the mutant could be reconstituted by the addition of denatured preparations of purified molybdoenzymes from animal, fungal, or bacterial origin. This crucial finding showed that mol- ybdoenzymes contain a dissociable entity fitting the description of a cofactor and ...

Isolation and characterization of new pterins from nonmethanogenic archaebacteria

open access: yes, 1987
Several new pterins have been discovered in halophilic and thermoacidophilic archaebacteria. Two of these were identified in the extreme halophiles and were thus called halopterins.

Cerebrospinal fluid pterins and folates in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome: A new phenotype

open access: yes, 2003
peer reviewedObjective: To describe three unrelated children with a distinctive variant of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) characterized by microcephaly, severe mental and motor retardation, dyskinesia or spasticity, and occasional seizures.

Urine pterins and plasma phenylalanine measurements at enrollment in the 4 clinical groups.

open access: yes, 2015
Units: urine pterins μmol/mmol creatinine; amino acid μM.Median and inter-quartile ranges, p-value Kruskal-Wallis comparison across all 4 groups. BH4 = tetrahydrobiopterin, BH2 = dihydrobiopterin, B0 = biopterin, NH2 = dihydroneopterin, N0 = neopterin.A =

Characterization of Underivatized Pterins by Laser Desorption Fourier Transfonn Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesPteridines, 1993
Laser desorption FfMS provides a powerful method for examining the structures of underivatized pteridines. (M + Na)+ and (M + K)+ ions are generated by laser desorption and can be used to determine molecular weights. The negative ion spectra provide more

Mechanistic Study of ROS-photogeneration by Pterin

open access: yesPteridines, 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

A contribution to the chemistry of pterins [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1942
Abstract The experiments in this paper have been chiefly concerned with a derivative from pterins, the wing pigments of pierid butterflies. These pigments have become prominent of recent years, partly on account of the prolonged efforts (1925-41) of continental workers to determine their nature.
