Among the over 50 gyrate atrophy-causing mutations of ornithine δ-aminotransferase (OAT), the R180T involves an active site residue located at the dimer interface, which in the crystal structure of OAT complexed with 5-fluoromethylornithine engages a salt bridge with the α-carboxylate

Gyrate atrophy (GA) is a rare recessive disorder characterized by progressive blindness, chorioretinal degeneration and systemic hyperornithinemia. GA is caused by point mutations in the gene encoding ornithine δ-aminotransferase (OAT), a tetrameric pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme catalysing the transamination of l-ornithine

Quinolines are an important class of compounds, and the development of new efficient synthetic strategies for the construction of quinolines is of considerable interest. Zinc triflate catalyzed cyclization of ethenetricarboxylate derivatives with 2-aminobenzaldehydes has been examined. The reaction of ethenetricarboxylate

Protein dynamics manifested through structural flexibility play a central role in the function of biological molecules. Here we explore the substrate-mediated change in protein flexibility of an antibiotic target enzyme, Clostridium botulinum dihydrodipicolinate synthase. We demonstrate that the substrate, pyruvate

The, nitrin, 2-aminobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone (2ABPH) was synthesis by refluxing 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with phenylhydrazine in ethanolic solvent. Three transition metal (II) complexes of 2ABPH have been prepared. Elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, UV, 1H NMR, and mass spectra, as well as TG/DTG
