We describe a general protocol for using comparative NMR metabolomics data to infer in vivo efficacy, specificity and toxicity of chemical leads within a drug discovery program. The methodology is demonstrated using Aspergillus nidulans to monitor the activity of urate

High-resolution X-ray structures of the complexes of Aspergillus flavus urate oxidase (Uox) with three inhibitors, 8-azaxanthin (AZA), 9-methyl uric acid (MUA) and oxonic acid (OXC), were determined in an orthorhombic space group (I222). In addition, the ligand-free enzyme was also

Crystallization and preliminary neutron diffraction measurements of rasburicase, a recombinant urate oxidase enzyme expressed by a genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, complexed with a purine-type inhibitor (8-azaxanthin) are reported. Neutron Laue diffraction data were collected to 2.1 A resolution using

We report the three-dimensional structure determined by high-pressure macromolecular crystallography (HPMX) of a 135-kDa homo-tetrameric enzyme, urate oxidase from Aspergillus flavus complexed with its potent inhibitor 8-azaxanthin. Urate oxidase crystals are quite sensitive to pressure, as three-dimensional order is lost

Xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.37) activity was determined in the fat body of the Chagas' disease vector Triatoma infestans using a system in which phenazine methosulphate was associated with p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet as electron acceptors for the oxidation of the substrate xanthine.
