The Interaction of Afiatoxins with Purines and Purine Nucleosides BY JANET
نویسنده
چکیده
From measurements of thermal hyperchromicity and the behaviour of an aflatoxin-DNA mixture on a Sephadex coluimn it was concluded that aflatoxin B1 is capable of weak binding to single-stranded DNA. The interactions of the aflatoxins (B1, Gl and G2) with nucleosides result in difference spectra and suggest that the purine bases and the amino group play a role in the binding of all the aflatoxins to DNA.

Haloalkyl purines i.e. 2,6-diamino-8-(chloromethyl) purine 10; 2, 6-diamino-X- (chloromethyl) purine 17; 2,6-diamino-8-(chloropropylp) urine 18; were synthesized by two distinct but facile methods. The N-alkylating potential of 2, 6-diamino-8- (chloromethyl) purine was investigated. The following products 2,6-diamino-8-(Nbenzyl- N-methyl) purine 11; 2,6-diamino-8-(4-nitro anilinomethyl) pur...
متن کاملTransport of nucleosides in Bacillus subtilis: the effect of purine nucleosides on the cytidine-uptake.
The structural effects of chemical modifications upon the affinity of purine nucleosides to cytidine-transport system in Bacillus subtilis were investigated using a series of modified derivatives. The interaction involves protein molecule(s) which require the presence and proper orientation of the sugar residue and its hydroxylic functions. Moreover, a specific interaction with the heterocyclic...
متن کاملThe interaction of histone IV with nucleoside triphosphates.
The nucleoside triphosphates ATP, GTP, TTP, and CTP induce conformational changes in histone IV at concentrations that are of the same magnitude as the histone concentration. The purine nucleoside triphosphates are much more effective than the pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates.

Pd-catalyzed direct C-H arylation of unprotected purine nucleosides with aryl iodides at position 8 was developed to allow a straightforward single-step introduction of diverse aryl groups.
متن کاملEffect of purines on epinephrine-induced lipolysis in adipose tissue.
The purine bases hypoxanthine, xanthine, guanine, and purine markedly inhibit epinephrine-induced lipolysis in rat adipose tissue, an action previously ascribed only to nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. The inhibition by purines and purine conjugates is associated with increased destruction of epinephrine. Allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, prevents the degradation of epi...
