INACTIVATION OFS-ADENOSYL-L-HOMOCYSTEINE HYDROLASE WITH FLUORINATED ANALOGS OF 2′- AND 3′-DEOXY-5′-METHYLTHIOADENOSINE

Abstract
Fluorinated analogs of 2'- and 3'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine 1-4 caused irreversible inactivation of AdoHcy hydrolase. Based on the ESI-Mass spectra analysis of the inactivated enzyme with the fluorinated analog 1 a mechanism of inactivation is proposed.
