Four independent menaquinone (vitamin K(2))-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli, blocked in the conversion of o-succinylbenzoate (OSB) to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA), were found to represent two distinct classes. Enzymatic complementation was observed when a cell-free extract of one mutant was mixed with

The main component of the metabolic by-products of fermentation by Propionibacterium freudenreichii ET-3 is 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), which has a naphthoquinone skeleton, as in vitamin K2. This study showed that DHNA improved bone mass reduction with osteoporosis model mice caused

Irradiation of alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids "caged" with the 2,5-dihydroxybenzyl group or its naphthalene analogue results in the efficient release of the substrate. The initial byproduct of the photoreaction, 4-hydroxyquinone-2-methide, undergoes rapid tautomerization into methyl p-quinone. The UV spectrum

A key reaction in the biosynthesis of menaquinone involves the conversion of the soluble bicyclic naphthalenoid compound 1, 4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA) to the membrane-bound demethylmenaquinone. The enzyme catalyzing this reaction, DHNA-octaprenyltransferase, attaches a 40-carbon side chain to DHNA. The menA

Ac-DNLD-CHO is a novel caspase-3 specific peptide inhibitor that was rationally designed by our computational strategy. The specificity was shown to be due to the specific interaction of NLD moiety with the active site of caspase-3 on the basis of
