Phosphorylation of Some 5-Aminoimidazole Nucleosides to the 5’ -Phosphates Using a Phosphotransferase from Wheat

Abstract
Several D-ribofuranosyl, D-xylofuranosyl and D-arabinofuranosyl 5-aminoimidazoles were successfully phosphorylated to 5''-phosphates using a phosphotransferase from wheat shoots and p-nitrophenylphosphate as a phosphate donor.
