Methionine synthase assay based on coupling with thymidylate synthase reaction.

Abstract:

:Methionine synthase reaction may be coupled with thymidylate synthase-catalysed tritium release from [5-3H]dUMP via non-enzymatic reaction of formaldehyde with tetrahydrofolate. A convenient and sensitive assay of methionine synthase activity, based on this principle, is described.

  • The geometry of intercalation complex of antitumor mitoxantrone and ametantrone with DNA: molecular dynamics simulations.

    abstract::Intercalative binding of the antitumor drugs ametantrone and mitoxantrone to the dodecamer duplex d(CGCGAGCTCGCG)2 was studied by applying molecular dynamics in water with the GROMOS 87 force field. A number of reasonable binding orientations were tested by short pre-simulations. It was shown that in energetically fav...
