terin (DMBH(4)) are oxidized by tyrosinase in a process during which the suicide inactivation of tyrosinase may occur. From the kinetic study of this process, [Formula: see text] (apparent maximum constant for the suicide inactivation), [Formula: see text] (Michaelis constant for the substrate) and r (number of turnovers that the enzyme makes before the inactivation) can be obtained. From the results

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a precursor of serotonin, is produced in a microbial host cell. A modified bacterial phenylalanine 4-hydroxylase (P4H) catalyzes the tryptophan 5-hydroxylation reaction. Optionally the host cell includes a cofactor regeneration mechanism, allowing continuous production of 5-HTP without supplementation of exogenous cofactors.

This report describes out continued investigation of reactions between tetrahydropterins and dioxomolybdenum complexes. We report the results of structural, reactivity, and theoretical experiments that indicate these reduced molybdenum-pterin complexes are better described as Mo(6+)-H(4)pterin rather than Mo(4+)-H(2)pterin as previously assigned. Both Mulliken charges calculated using the extended Huckel molecular orbital method and the bond valence sum method predict a formal molybdenum oxidation state midway between 5+ and 6+. The complexes Mo2O4Cl2(tetrahydro-6,7-dimethylpterin)(2), MoOCl3(tetrahydro-6,7-dimethylpterin), and MoOCl2(tetrahydro-6-(hydroxymethyl)pterin)(diethyldithiocarbaate) have been characterized by H-1 NMR, IR, UV/vis, and conductivity measurements. The X-ray crystal structure is reported for Mo2O4Cl2(tetrahydro-6,7-dimethylpterin)(2) . 4DMF. Inner coordination sphere bond distances indicate substantial electron density is donated from the pterin N(5) to Mo. These complexes undergo solvation and ligand substitution reactions. It is shown that solvation is associated with acid-base reactions at the tetrahydropterin ligands. The molybdenum-tetrahydropterin complexes show a variety of reactivities toward the oxidants O-2, 2,6-dichloroindophenol, and dimethyl sulfoxide. This study shows that tetrahydropterin has a high affinity to chelate Mo(6+) if one of the two oxo ligands is removed and that coordination to molybdenum stabilizes tetrahydropterins toward oxidation. Results from this study also suggest that dioxo-Mo(VI) coordination to tetrahydropterin is unlikely.

N(2)-Isobutyroyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterins (6-10) have been coupled with nicotinic acid to form the N(5)-nicotinoyl derivatives 11-15. Quaternization at the pyridine moiety led to 19-31 which can be reduced to the corresponding N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine dertivatives 35-39. Partial deacylation of the isobutyroyl group afforded the various types of terahydropterins 16-18, 32-34 and 40-42. The newly synthesized 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin derivatives have been characterized by pK(a)-determinations, UV- and NMR-spectra as well as elemental analyses.
