Application
5′-Deoxyadenosine has been used:
- as a standard in mass spectroscopy
- as an inhibitor for screening thymidine phosphorylase activity
- as a substrate in 5′-Deoxyadenosine deaminase (DadD) assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
5′-Deoxyadenosine is a substrate for the enzyme methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine (MTA/SAH) nucleosidase in microbes. 5′-Deoxyadenosine is a byproduct of cleavage of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). High levels of 5′-Deoxyadenosine inhibits SAM dependent enzymes. It also inhibits biotin synthase (BioB) and lipoyl synthase (LipA) enzymes.
