Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel human 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) substrates

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Jun 2;15(11):2829-33. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.03.107.

Abstract

The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel MTAP substrates are described. These compounds incorporate various C5'-moieties and are shown to have different k(cat)/K(m) values compared with the natural MTAP substrate (MTA).
