  • Acyclovir is a metabolic product of the diaminopurine derivative, formed by the action of adenosine deaminase and is undoubtedly responsible for the antiviral activity of the diamino compound observed in vivo (110-112).

  • However, low concentrations of diaminopurine could also be reversed by folic acid, an attribute which diaminopurine had in common with other diaminopyrimidines and the diamino-pyrimidine condensed systems (10).

  • However, unexpectedly, the guanine analog, acyclovir (acycloguanosine), was over 100 times as active as the diamino compound

  • Thus for example in comparison with the remaining proteins they contain larger amounts of diamino acids, especially diaminovaleric acid, and the amidine groups attached to it; histidine can also occur in them in large amounts.

  • In the latter the acid qualities, and in the former, the so-called diamino acids, the basic qualities predominate.

  • These are thus still poorer in monoamino acids and relatively richer in diamino acids than histone.

    Albrecht Kossel - Nobel Lecture 1967

  • For example, we can determine how large the amount of the diamino acids is compared with the monoamino acids and what percentage of the total nitrogen is present in the form of diaminovaleric acid.

    Albrecht Kossel - Nobel Lecture 1967

  • The sturine obtained from sturgeon roe contains for ex-ample all four of the previously mentioned nitrogen-rich groups of the protein molecule: two diamino acids of which one is combined with the amidine groups, and in addition, histidine.

    Albrecht Kossel - Nobel Lecture 1967

  • E. Fischer and L. Ach (_Berichte_, 1895, 28, p. 3135) have synthesized it from dimethyl alloxan, whilst W. Traube (_Berichte_, 1900, 33, p. 3435) has obtained it from 1.3 diamethyl 4.5 diamino 2.6 dioxypyrimidine.

  • Blotting was performed as explained above except that after incubation with primary antibody, the blots were developed using diamino benzidine/H
