Reaction mechanism of GTP cyclohydrolase I: single turnover experiments using a kinetically competent reaction intermediate.

Abstract excerpt

GTP cyclohydrolase I catalyses the transformation of GTP into dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate, which is the first committed precursor of tetrahydrofolate and tetrahydrobiopterin. The kinetically competent reaction intermediate, 2-amino-5-formylamino-6-ribosylamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone, was used as substrate for single turnover experiments monitored by multiwavelength photometry. The early reaction phase is...
