Insights Into the Known 13C Depletion of Methane—Contribution of the Kinetic Isotope Effects on the Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase Reaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2022
We determined the kinetic isotope effect on the serine hydroxymethyltransferase reaction (SHMT), which provides important C1 metabolites that are essential for the biosynthesis of DNA bases, O-methyl groups of lignin and methane. An isotope effect on the

Mapping the Substrate-Binding Sites in the Phosphatidylserine Synthase in Candida albicans

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
The fungal phosphatidylserine (PS) synthase, a membrane protein encoded by the CHO1 gene, is a potential drug target for pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans. However, both substrate-binding sites of C.

Simultaneous suppression of PKM2 and PHGDH elicits synergistic anti-cancer effect in NSCLC

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of human cancer. Cancer cells exhibit enhanced glycolysis, which allows glycolytic intermediates to be diverted into several other biosynthetic pathways, such as serine synthesis.

2,3-Diaminopropanols Obtained from d-Serine as Intermediates in the Synthesis of Protected 2,3-l-Diaminopropanoic Acid (l-Dap) Methyl Esters

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
A synthetic strategy for the preparation of two orthogonally protected methyl esters of the non-proteinogenic amino acid 2,3-l-diaminopropanoic acid (l-Dap) was developed. In these structures, the base-labile protecting group 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl
