Pyrimidine groups

This has been the subject of many investigations starting from thiamine itself or derivatives, with the aim of explaining the role of pyrimidine group in coenzymatic activity. 

One of the most important species of six-membered heterocycles is represented by the pyrimidine group. Simple synthetic approaches therefore are of great importance. 

A H and P n.m.r. study of thiamine pyrophosphate in the presence of cobalt(ii) or nickel(ii) indicate that the TPP is bonded to the metal via pyrophosphate and the pyrimidine group, in a similar manner to ATP-M complexes. 

There are several commercially available sulfonylurea herbicides that contain a 2-pyrimidine group <2006H(68)561>. These compounds, which function by inhibition of acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme involved in the early stage of branched-chain amino acid synthesis, include sulfometuron-methyl 1095, primisulfuron-methyl 1096, chlorimuron-ethyl 1097, bensulfuron-methyl 1098, ethoxysulfuron 1099, nicosulfuron 1100, and pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 1101. Related nonsulfonylureas include the sulfide pyrftalid 1102 and the ether pyriminobac-methyl 1103. 

A pentose with a 5 -phosphate group, a 2 -hydroxyl group, and a 1 -pyrimidine group describes which of the following structures ... 

SAR of Zolamine. It essentially contains the thiazole moiety instead of the pyridine and pyrimidine groups present in tripelennamine and a 5-thonzylamine respectively. Being, a 5 membered ring (thiazole) which is certainly much more compact than the 6-membered heterocyclic ring present in the other two compounds. 

According to the IR-spectra (Fig. 3), addition of the polymer to a freshly prepared Ag-Au colloid shifted the band in the 1560-1700 cm1 region, which is characteristic for the stretching vibrations of benzene rings of pyrimidine group. The band at 1664 cm1 is shifted to a... 

Data presented in Fig. 3 suggest that the shift of the absorbance band to a lower wave numbers can be associated with the interaction of Ag-Au particles and electrons from tret C-N bonds delocalized in the pyrimidine group. The slight shift from 1028 cm to 1024 cm-1 can correspond to -CH2-O-CH2-group. The last fact demonstrates the week interaction of Ag-Au particles with of —CH2—O—CH2— group. 

A plan of the nucleic acid structure, showing four of the phosphate groups, one ribo-furanose group, and one pyrimidine group. 

TK was one of the first ThDP-dependent enzymes whose three-dimensional structure to be determined by X-ray crystallography (Lindqvist et al. 1992). TK consists of three a/(3-fold domains an Y-terminal domain that binds the pyrophosphate group of ThDP (PP domain), a middle domain that binds the pyrimidine group (Pyr domain) and a C-terminal domain (Figure 4.4a). The PP and... 

Pyr domains share a similar topology of secondary structures, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. TK is a homodimer and each subunit packs through extensive interactions between the PP and Pyr domains (Figure 4.4b). ThDP is bound at the interface, the pyrophosphate and the pyrimidine groups being held by different subunits. Recently, the crystal structure of PK was determined (Suzuki et al. 2010), and its overall structure is basically similar to that of TK. 

Mechanism of action. Formaldehyde mode of action has been extensively studied and is due to its ability to react with several different amino acids. It will react with those amino acids containing sulfhydryl (cysteine), hydroxyl (serine), and amine (lysine, arginine) groups. It is also unique in that it may also react with the purine and pyrimidine groups of both DNA and RNA. The varied nature of formaldehyde s mode of reactivity with all of these functional groups distinguishes it from other aldehydes such as acrolein and glutaraldehyde. 

The complete interpretation of these data is unfortunately difficult since these polymers form different types of mesophases Polymers with cyanobiphenyl and pyrimidine groups form smectic mesophases, and polymers with methoxyphenyl-benzoate groups form a nematic mesophase (although this difference in the types of mesophases perhaps also determines the type of change in T ). The effect of DP on Tci should also not be excluded in this case. 

N-acylated esters of (cyclohexa-l,4-dienyl)-L-alanine are ozonized aiming at the synthesis of novel uimatural amino acids. The combined reduction and ozonolysis followed by condensation with a suitable nucleophile results in transformation of the aromatic ring of L-Phe to isooxasolyl, N-phenylpyrazolyl and to bicyclic pyrazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidine groups. The preparation of heterocyclic alanine derivatives is reported [89].
