title: Preparation and study of a fluorescent sugar analog competitive inhibitor of yeast hexokinase.
abstract: The preparation of 2-deoxy-2-amino-N-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalene sulfonyl)-glucose (III) designed as a fluorescent competitive inhibitor of hexokinase was achieved after reacting 2-deoxy-2-aminoglucose and 1-dimethylamino-5-naphthalene sulfonyl chloride. (III) showed fluorescence excitation and emission maxima in water at 330 and 507 nm, respectively. (III) was found to competitively inhibit hexokinase and a value of Ki = 3.0 x 10(-3)M was obtained for the system hexokinase B + Mg.ATP + glucose at pH 8.4.
