| Abstract | Hydrogenated (reduced) pterins are found in all living organisms, where they are involved in key metabolic processes. Molybdenum in its biologically active form is bound to a fully reduced tetrahydropyranopterin referred to as a metal-binding pterin (MPT), forming the so-called molybdenum cofactor (Moco). Cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) is the first isolatable intermediate in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. Here we present for the first time a (13)C NMR characterization of an active Moco intermediate. The (13)C NMR data for cPMP corroborate previous data showing the tetrahydropyranopterin nature of cPMP and the presence of a gem-diol in the C1' position of the side chain. The stability of the gem-diol, together with the absence of any observable signal at low field (175-220 ppm), is an indication that the gem-diol is not a chemical artifact, but is chemically stable and not in equilibrium with the keto form. Finally, we have studied spectrophotometrically the kinetics of cPMP oxidation in the presence of metal centers, chelating agents, and different buffers and pH values. We found that oxidation is metal-dependent and can be substantially retarded in the presence of EDTA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
