Ga. Korshunova et al., Synthesis of modified thiopurine nucleosides for structural characterization of human thiopurine S-methyltransferase, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(6-7), 1999, pp. 1747-1748
Synthesis of a number of photoactive thiopurine-containing nucleosides was
described. S-methylation of the synthesized compounds in the course of the
reaction catalyzed by recombinant human thiopurine S-methyltransferase was
studied by UV-spectroscopy.
