Ym. Li et Yf. Zhao, THE BIOORGANIC CHEMICAL-REACTIONS OF N-PHOSPHOAMINO ACIDS WITHOUT SIDE-CHAIN FUNCTIONAL-GROUP PARTICIPATED BY PHOSPHORYL GROUP, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 78(1-4), 1993, pp. 15-21
The bioorganic chemical reactions of N-phosphoamino acids without a si
de chain functional group are complex and interesting. With the partic
ipation of the phosphoryl group, N-phosphoamino acids can self-activat
e to give the peptides, esters and ester exchange products. An intramo
lecular mixed phosphorylic-carboxylic anhydride intermediate may exist
in these bioorganic chemical processes.
