The biological activity of catechol neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the synapse is modulated by transporters and enzymes. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) inactivates neurotransmitters by catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catechols in the presence of

Well-defined substrates for the study of oxidative processes are important for the elucidation of the role of DNA damage in the etiology of diseases such as cancer. We have synthesized 3'-modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) using 5'→3' 'reverse' DNA synthesis for the

Relaxed force constants (RFC) and vibrational root-mean-square (VRMS) deviations are used for comparative characterization of mechanical properties of canonical 2'-deoxyribonucleosides (2DRs) and 1,2-dideoxyribose molecule, their model sugar residue. It has been shown that RFC and VRMS should be preferred over

Our mechanistic understanding of damage formation in DNA by the direct effect relies heavily on what is known of free radical intermediates studied by EPR spectroscopy. Bridging this information to stable product formation requires methods with comparable sensitivities, a criterion

Angiogenesis is the term used to describe the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. In order to attract new vessels, a tissue must release an endothelial-cell chemoattractant. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose is produced in vivo by the catalytic action of
