## Abstract **Last at last**: The terminal step of the gilvocarcin V (GV) biosynthetic pathway is an unusual lactone formation. Here we show that the enzyme, GilR, dehydrogenates the hemiacetal moiety of pregilvocarcin V to the lactone found in GV by using covalently bound FAD.magnified image
A new method for assaying the enzymes N\*-acetyl-L-omithine:L-glutamate N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.35) and acetyl-coenzyme A:~-glutamate N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.1) has been designed. This assay system is based on the separation of N-['4C]acetylghuamate from N-[ "'Clacetylomithine or [?Z]ace
Enzymes are essential for the activation of many prodrugs. In this review, the most important enzymes (e.g., paraoxonase, carboxylesterase, acetylcholinesterase, cholinesterase) involved in the bioconversion of ester-based prodrugs will be discussed in terms of their biology and biochemistry. Most o
