摘要
Incubation of delta-L-alpha-aminoadipoyl-L-[3-C-13]cysteinyl-D-[3-H-2]valine with Isopenicillin N Synthase (IPNS) resulted in the observation of a 'shunt metabolite', which we believe is formed from the collapse of an enzyme bound monocyclic beta-lactam intermediate. Chemical studies into the origin of the shunt metabolite suggest its formation occurred after initial beta-lactam ring closure. Further chemical studies on the decomposition pathway of a free thiol monocyclic beta-lactam have indicated it is not the source of the shunt metabolite, as upon decomposition the major product formed retains sulphur in the form of an ene-thiol dehydrocysteine.
