Abstract
A model for tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency in mice is described. Elevated levels of phenylalanine produced in the model were shown to be dramatically reduced after injection of tetrahydrobiopterin. A comparison of several reduced pterins for their efficacy in the system is described. The unnatural S isomer of tetrahydrobiopterin was shown to be active in the system.Entities:
