FIDAS-5 effectively competes against S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for MAT2A binding.?FIDAS-5 has anticancer activities.?FIDAS-5 is a potent and orally active methionine S-adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.1 μM.FIDAS-5 induces the expression of cell cycle inhibitor, p21WAF1/CIP1. FIDAS-5 (3 μM; 36 h) treatment reduces the levels of both S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) in LS174T cells.FIDAS-5 (3 μM; 7 days; LS174T cells) treatment significantly inhibits the proliferation of LS174T cells.

Ninhydrin is a chromogenic analytical probe for the quantification of proteins and amino acids.

The Staphylococcus aureus transpeptidase Sortase A (SrtA) anchors virulence and colonization-associated surface proteins to the cell wall. SrtA selectively recognizes a C-terminal LPXTG motif. SrtA readily reacts with its native substrate Abz-LPETG-Dap(DNP)-NH2, cleaving it and catalyzing the formation of an amide bond between the carboxyl group of threonine and the amino group of cell-wall crossbridges.
