2-Aminobiphenyl is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H5CH2NH. It has been found to be carcinogenic in animals. 2-Aminobiphenyl is metabolized by the liver and excreted in urine, and is also excreted into breast milk. 2-Aminobiphenyl binds to epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) and triggers the activation of cell proliferation. The tissue culture studies show that it induces tumor formation at higher doses, but not at lower doses. 2-Aminobiphenyl has been shown to bind to DNA through intramolecular hydrogen bonds and form adducts with guanine bases. This binding leads to an increase in DNA strand breaks and inhibition of DNA synthesis, which may lead to cancer or other diseases affecting cells that divide rapidly such as bladder cancer or cancer of the skin.

Furiosus is a monomeric and homodimeric protein that belongs to the group of S-adenosylmethionine synthetases. Furiosus is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methylamine and ATP. Furiosus interacts with polymerase, subtilis, and catalysis to form a holoenzyme complex. Furiosus has been shown to have cleavage activity against peroxide and hydrogen peroxide, which is due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species. Furiosus has also been shown to be a molecular modeling target for the development of new antibiotics.
