Abstract: | A trigalacturonic acid analogue carrying a cyclohexene framework in place of the central pyranose ring was synthesized as a molecular probe for the mechanistic investigation of endo-polygalacturonase 1 (endo-PG 1). Preliminary enzymatic studies revealed that this analogue inhibited endo-PG 1 activity by about 30% at 0.3 mM concentration. |
