N-formylglycine was developed as a dead-end inhibitor of the succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase reaction. At 4 mM, it inhibited Aspergillus niger succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase by 40%. N-formylglycine is a reversible, complete inhibitor; the inhibition is competitive with succinic semialdehyde and uncompetitive

Single crystals of the 1:1 complex of the nucleic acid base cytosine and the dipeptide N-formylglycine (C.NFG) have been irradiated at 10 and 273 K to doses of about 70 kGy and studied at temperatures between 10 and 293 K

Type I sulfatases require an unusual co- or post-translational modification for their activity in hydrolyzing sulfate esters. In eukaryotic sulfatases, an active site cysteine residue is oxidized to the aldehyde-containing C(alpha)-formylglycine residue by the formylglycine-generating enzyme (FGE). The machinery responsible

To determine the effectiveness of the ribosome as a catalyst, we compared the rate of uncatalyzed peptide bond formation, by the reaction of the ethylene glycol ester of N-formylglycine with Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, with the rate of peptidyl transfer by the ribosome.

The alkaline phosphatase superfamily comprises a large number of hydrolytic metalloenzymes such as phosphatases and sulfatases. We have characterised a new member of this superfamily, a phosphonate monoester hydrolase/phosphodiesterase from Rhizobium leguminosarum (R/PMH) both structurally and kinetically. The 1.42 A
