A UV/Vis Spectroscopy-Based Assay for Monitoring of Transformations Between Nucleosides and Nucleobases [PDF]

, 2019
Efficient reaction monitoring is crucial for data acquisition in kinetic and mechanistic studies. However, for conversions of nucleosides to their corresponding nucleobases, as observed in enzymatically catalyzed nucleoside phosphorylation reactions, the

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: Enzymes

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue S1, Page S307-S403, December 2025.
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Methylthioadenosine [PDF]

, 2004
5'-Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing nucleoside present in all mammalian tissues. MTA is produced from S-adenosylmethionine mainly through the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, where it behaves as a powerful inhibitory ...

Transcriptomic and enzymological evidence for plastid peptidoglycan synthesis in the gymnosperm Picea abies

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 5, December 2025.
Significance Statement Peptidoglycan (murein) biosynthesis is involved in chloroplast division in mosses, while Arabidopsis MurE mutants are defective in chloroplast development. We have shown that the gymnosperm Picea abies expresses 11 genes of the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway, and that P.

Circulating Human Neonatal Naïve B cells are Deficient in CD73 Impairing Purine Salvage

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Background: Extracellular purines, in particular adenosine (Ado) and adenosine-triphosphate (ATP), are critical immunoregulatory molecules. Expression and activity of purine ecto-enzymes on B cells in neonatal and adult blood may influence their function

Altered deoxyribonucleotide pools in T-lymphoblastoid cells expressing the multisubstrate nucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2005
The multisubstrate nucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster (Dm-dNK) can be expressed in human solid tumor cells and its unique enzymatic properties makes this enzyme a suicide gene candidate.

Metabolic Origin, Role and Fate of the Denaturant Guanidine

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
The origin of metabolic guanidine is largely a mystery. We suggest it is created when guanine‐containing nucleotides are oxidised by molecular oxygen instead of being broken down into urea as purines normally would. Guanidine may act as a signal to help cells control the level of reactive oxygen species.

Computational quantum chemistry, molecular docking, and ADMET predictions of imidazole alkaloids of Pilocarpus microphyllus with schistosomicidal properties.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Schistosomiasis affects million people and its control is widely dependent on a single drug, praziquantel. Computational chemistry has led to the development of new tools that predict molecular properties related to pharmacological potential.

Pediococcus acidilactici GR-5 alleviates hyperuricemia by degrading purine nucleosides and improving gut microbiota metabolism

npj Science of Food
Reducing intestinal absorption by degrading purine nucleosides has been shown to alleviate hyperuricemia (HUA). The probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici GR-5, derived from the traditional food “Jiangshui”, achieved efficient degradation of purine ...
