Abstract excerpt
The title compound is an excellent substrate for E. coli PNP, as well as for its D204N mutant. The main product of the synthetic reaction is N9-riboside, but some amount of N7-riboside is also present. Surprisingly, 1,N6-ethenoadenine is also ribosylated by both wild-type and mutated (N243D) forms of calf PNP, which catalyze the synthesis of a different riboside, tentatively identified as...
