lps Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 We have a bacterial structure that may have been made by the addition of putrescine to the OH group of glycerate-2-phosphate (see attached image). What should I call this compound and the enzyme which made the addition? I have seach pubChem but the compound is not in the database.
hypervalent_iodine Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 As a manner of convention, in chemistry we never express reactions as: A + B = C We use arrows to signify the outcome of a reaction: A + B --> C To answer your question, though I'm not sure I agree with your reaction, the product you've drawn would be called 1-((4-aminobutyl)amino)-3-hydroxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl hydrogen phosphate (according to ChemBioDraw).
lps Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Thankyou for the information. I have downloaded a free two week trial of ChemBio draw and I can see that you are correct.
