1 methyl dl tryptophan beta 3 benzofuranyl dl alanine the oxygen analog of tryptophan and beta 3 benzo b thienyl dl alanine the sulfur analog of tryptophan are competitive inhibitors for indoleamine 2 3 dioxygenase

TL;DR: The present findings demonstrate that the free form of the indole nitrogen base is an important physical and/or electronic structural requirement for Trp to be metabolized by the enzyme, and supports a view that singlet oxygen is not the reactive oxygen species involved in the dioxygenation of Trp by the enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral thiol as a proximal ligand to ferrous heme iron: implications for heme proteins that lose cysteine thiolate ligation on reduction.
TL;DR: It is established that neutral cysteine can serve as a ligand in ferrous heme iron proteins, and that ferric cysteinate-ligated heme proteins that fail to retain such ligation on reduction may simply be ligated by neutral Cysteine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfur donor ligand binding to ferric cytochrome P-450-CAM and myoglobin. Ultraviolet-visible absorption, magnetic circular dichroism, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic investigation of the complexes.
TL;DR: The dissimilarities observed between P-450 and myoglobin in their reactivity toward sulfur donor ligands at least partly reflect the variation in heme iron electron density resulting from their different endogenous axial ligands and may, in turn, help to explain their respective physiological functions of oxygen activation and reversible oxygen binding.
