摘要: Adenylate-forming enzymes are a mechanistic superfamily that involved in diverse biochemical pathways. They catalyze ATP-dependent activation of carboxylic acid substrates as reactive acyl adenylate (acyl-AMP) intermediates and subsequent coupling to various nucleophiles generate ester, thioester, amide products. Inspired by natural products, sulfonyladenosines (acyl-AMS) mimic the tightly bound acyl-AMP reaction have been developed potent inhibitors adenylate-forming enzymes. This simple yet powerful inhibitor design platform has provided wide range biological probes well several therapeutic lead compounds. Herein, we provide an overview nine structural classes examples acyl-AMS for each.
