Fluoride assays for oxygenases: The 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase BBOX catalyses the final step in carnitine biosynthesis and is a medicinal chemistry target. We report that BBOX can hydroxylate fluorinated substrates analogues with subsequent release of a fluoride ion, thereby enabling an efficient fluorescence-based assay.
2-氧代戊二酸依赖性加氧酶 BBOX 催化肉碱生物合成的最后一步,是药物化学的靶标。我们报告称,BBBOX 可以羟基化氟代底物类似物,随后释放出氟离子,从而实现基于荧光的高效检测。
