Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1686-1701, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...
