Put a ring on it: Selective inhibition of DXP synthase is a challenge in developing anti‐infectives targeting isoprenoid biosynthesis. DXP synthase preferentially turns over sterically demanding aryl nitroso substrates to form CN bonds, thus suggesting a new design for unnatural bisubstrate analogues as selective inhibitors of isoprenoid biosynthesis.
戴上戒指:选择性抑制 DXP 合酶是开发针对类异戊二烯生物合成的抗感染药物的挑战。DXP 合酶优先翻转空间要求高的芳基亚硝基底物以形成 C N 键,因此提出了一种新设计,将非天然双底物类似物用作类异戊二烯生物合成的选择性抑制剂。
