ISOPENICILLIN-N SYNTHASE - A NEW MODE OF REACTIVITY
Incubation of L-δ-(α-aminoadipoyl)-L-(3,3-difluorohomocysteinyl)-D-valine [an analogue of the natural substrate: L-δ-(α-aminoadipoyl)-L-(cysteinyl)-D-valine] with isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) resulted in the production of a thiocarboxylic acid, i.e. both equivalents of the dioxygen cosubstrate we...

| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | Incubation of L-δ-(α-aminoadipoyl)-L-(3,3-difluorohomocysteinyl)-D-valine [an analogue of the natural substrate: L-δ-(α-aminoadipoyl)-L-(cysteinyl)-D-valine] with isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) resulted in the production of a thiocarboxylic acid, i.e. both equivalents of the dioxygen cosubstrate were utilised to oxidise a single carbon of the cysteinyl analogue. This result and others are rationalised in terms of mechanistic proposals for the first ring closure by IPNS. The synthesis of L-difluorohomocysteine and related structures, via 3,3-difluoro-β-lactams, is described. © 1992. |
