| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that among end-stage renal disease and preeclampsia patients the progress of the disease accompany dysfunction of catechol O-methyl transferase activity. We hypothesized that inhibition by S-adenosylhomocystein (SAH) lowers COMT activity. We searched for compounds that release the enzyme from the inhibition, the enhancers. In this study we discovered an enhancer A00607 which is more potent ever. We intend to reveal the molecular mechanism how the enhancer removes the SAH inhibition by enzyme kinetic study, equilibrium dialusis and isothermal calorimetric titration method. We proposed a theoretical model (by-pass model) and built logical model to explain mechanism of enhancement.
