Tetrahydrobiopterin-Derivat als lichtempfindliche Verbindung bei Amphibien und Insekten

Irmgard Ziegler
Published Online: 2014-06-02 | DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/znb-1960-0712

A tetrahydrobiopterin-compound (in addition to biopterin) has been found in the eyes and skins of Amphibians as well as in the eyes of insects. Evidence is given that this tetrahydrobiopterin-compound occurs as a N (8) -ribosid. The compound originally does not fluoresce. It is very light-sensitive; by irradiation hydrogen is split off, which can be transferred to TTC, and the fluorescing degradationproducts appear. The possibility of a tetrahydro-dihydro-equilibrium and the importance of this widely distributed compound for light-sensitivity is discussed.
