| 21. | Vitamin K 2, 3-epoxide is activated by reduction via the VKORC enzyme.
|
| 22. | But the epoxide product itself is vulnerable to ring opening, isn't it?
|
| 23. | This sulfone is coupled with a straightforward epoxide that originates from optically active starting materials.
|
| 24. | Glycidamide can also be hydrolyzed to glyceramide both spontaneously or enzymatically by microsomal epoxide hydrolase.
|
| 25. | The epoxide also dissolves more easily in water than its parent compound and is more persistent.
|
| 26. | The epoxide was present for 4 steps before being removed with samarium ( II ) oxide.
|
| 27. | Nucleophilic opening of this epoxide can occur by attack at either the 1 or 2 position.
|
| 28. | This epoxide intermediate allowing radical reactions to eventually open and oxidize the six-membered ring.
|
| 29. | One of violaxanthin s two epoxide groups are removed from its chemical structure to generate antheraxanthin.
|
| 30. | Other enzymes that may also produce mutagenic metabolites include glutathione S-transferase and microsomal epoxide hydrolase.
