The first direct X-ray crystal structure determination of a cytotoxic cyclic peptide from ascidian, ascidiacyclamide, has shown a molecular conformation responsible for its biological activity.
SzGmmaryThe Diels-Alder adduct between ergosterol synthesised in labelled form and shown to be an efficient acetate and 4-phenyl-lJ2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione can be precursor of ergosterol in yeast. efficiently re-converted into ergosterol by lithium aluminium hydride reduction ; using this reaction as a DURING work on ergosterol biosynthesisf we required radiokey step, ergosta-5,7,22,24(2S)-tetraen-3/!?-01 has been actively labelled ergosta-5,7,22,24(28)-tetraen-3fh12 (I ;
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
