Synthesis and Activity-Based Protein Profiling Identifies Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 as Target Protein of Myxoglucamides.

The identification of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) as the primary target of myxoglucamides in human cells implies that the search for targets of natural products is rewarding even in the absence of an initial phenotypic activity.

Biochemical Investigation of PumG, a Key Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (PLP)-Dependent Aminotransferase Involved in Pseudouridimycin Biosynthesis.

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent aminotransferases play a central role in nucleoside antibiotic biosynthesis, where they catalyze the conversion of ribose-derived aldehyde intermediates into aminonucleosides by introducing critical amino functional groups. Despite their widespread occurrence in the biosynthetic p...

Synthesis of Aminoacyl-2-Cyanopyrrolidine Compounds and Their Inhibitory Effect on the DPP-4 Enzyme.

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a major global health concern. DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors containing a 2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold are in clinical use; however, systematic evaluation of amides derived from amino acids adjacent to the N-2 position of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) has not been reported....

Molecular and functional analysis of Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants

Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a hereditary genetic defect which is one of the most prevalent polymorphisms and enzymopathies in humans, affecting approximately 500 million people worldwide. Antimalarial medications, such as primaquine and tafenoquine, have been linked to the hemolysis in the...
