TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Crystal structures of two novel sulfonylurea herbicides in complex with Arabidopsis thaliana acetohydroxyacid synthase

Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS; EC ) is the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the branched-chain amino acids. It catalyzes the conversion of two molecules of pyruvate into 2-acetolactate or one mole-cule of pyruvate and one molecule of 2-ketobutyrate into 2-aceto-2-hydrox-ybutyrate. | Crystal structures of two novel sulfonylurea herbicides in complex with Arabidopsis thaliana acetohydroxyacid synthase Jian-Guo Wang1 Patrick .

It catalyzes the conversion of two molecules of pyruvate into 2-acetolactate or one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of 2-ketobutyrate into 2-aceto-2-hydrox-ybutyrate. AHAS requires the cofactors thiamine diphosphate ThDP Mg2 and FAD for activity. The herbicides that target this enzyme are effective in protecting a broad range of crops from weed species. However resistance in the field is now a serious problem worldwide. To address this two new sulfonylureas monosulfuron and monosulfuron ester have been developed as commercial herbicides in China.
