Inhibition of rat brain glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, EC 4.1.1.15) by individual stereoisomers of 4-fluoroglutamate (4-F-Glu) and 2-fluoro-4-aminobutyrate (2-F-GABA) was studied. All stereoisomers of 4-F-Glu inhibited decarboxylation of L-glutamate catalysed by the enzyme preparation. At 1 x 10(-2) M concentration, the

The effects of 4-fluoroglutamate on the reaction catalyzed by partially purified rat liver folylpolyglutamate synthetase have been investigated. DL-threo-4-Fluoroglutamate was an effective, concentration-dependent inhibitor of polyglutamylation of both tetrahydrofolate and methotrexate, while the erythro isomer was weakly inhibitory. 4-Fluoroglutamate acted
Biochemical and biological properties of methotrexate analogs containing D-glutamic acid or D-erythro, threo-4-fluoroglutamic acid.

Two pentapeptides Phe-Leu-X-Glu-Val where X is either the L-threo-gamma-fluoroglutamic acid or the L-erythro-isomer have been synthesized and tested as substrates in the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation. Both peptides are carboxylated, but the reaction occurs exclusively on the glutamic acid of the

Fluorinated amino acids are used as enzyme inhibitors, mechanistic probes and in the production of pharmacologically active peptides. Because enantiomerically pure 4-fluoroglutamate is difficult to prepare, the selective degradation of the L-isomer is a potentially convenient method of obtaining D-4-fluoroglutamate
