Abstract

(Aminomethy1) trimethylsilane (AMTMS) was reported by Banik and Silverman to induce a slowly recoverable, mechanism-based inactivation of the mitochondrial flavin-dependent monoamine oxidase (MAO), 2 an enzyme believed to oxidize amines via initial one-electron (le) oxidation at nitrogen. The interest in AMTMS stemmed from Mariano's earlier demonstration that photochemical le oxidation of or-heteroatom-substituted silanes ...
