Pteridines

期刊简介：Pteridines is an open acess international quarterly journal dealing with all aspects of pteridine research. Pteridines are heterocyclic fused ring compounds involved in a wide range of biological functions from the color on butterfly wings to cofactors in enzyme catalysis to essential vitamins. Of the pteridines, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin is the necessary cofactor of several aromatic amino acid monoxygenases, the nitric oxide synthases and glyceryl ether monoxygenase (GEMO). Neopterin plays an essential role in the immune system and is an important biomarker in laboratory medicine for diseases such as HIV, cardiovascular disease, malignant tumors, among others.Topics:-Neopterin, dihydroneopterin, monapterin-Biopterin, tetrahydrobiopterin-Folates, antifolates, riboflavin-Phenylalanine, tyrosine, phenylketonuria, serotonin, adrenalin, noradrenalin, L-DOPA, dopamine, related biogenic amines-Phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase, tryptophan hydroxylase, nitric oxide synthases (iNOS), alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO), dihydropterin reductase, sepiapterin reductase-Homocysteine, mediators of inflammation, redox systems, iron.

【译文】Pteridines是一本开放获取的国际季刊，涵盖pteridine研究的各个方面。Pteridines是一类杂环稠环化合物，参与从蝴蝶翅膀的颜色到酶催化的辅因子，再到必需维生素的广泛生物功能。在pteridines中，5,6,7,8-四氢生物pterin是几种芳香族氨基酸单加氧酶、一氧化氮合酶和甘油醚单加氧酶（GEMO）的必需辅因子。Neopterin在免疫系统中的作用至关重要，是实验室医学中HIV、心血管疾病、恶性肿瘤等疾病的重要生物标志物。
