Theoretical Study of Flavopiridol Binded to Transition Metals
More recently medical chemistry research has been focused on proteins that drive and controlcell cycle progression. Among them, the cyclin dependent kinases (cdk’s) are a group ofserine/threonine kinases, which rule the transition between successive stages of the cell cycle. Theactivity of cdk’s is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including binding to cyclins, which is a broadclass of positive...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in transition metals.
A qualitative account of the occurrence and magnitude of superconductivity in the transition metals is presented, with a primary emphasis on elements of the first row. Correlations of the important parameters of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity are highlighted with respect to the number of d-shell electrons per atom of the transition elements. The relation between the s...
متن کاملIncreased levels of transition metals
OBJECTIVES: High levels of transition metals such as iron, nickel, chromium, copper, and lead are closely related to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, formation of DNA strand breaks, and tumor growth in cellular systems. In order to determine the correlation to malignant growth in humans, we investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in 20 breast cancer biopsies and compared the f...
متن کاملThe role of metals in carcinogenesis: biochemistry and metabolism.
The oxyanions of vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, arsenic, and selenium are stable forms of these elements in high oxidation states which cross cell membranes using the normal phosphate and/or sulfate transport systems of the cell. Once inside the cell, these oxyanions may sulfuryl transfer reactions. Often the oxyanions serve as alternate enzyme substrates but form ester products which are hydr...
متن کاملTransition metals in plant photosynthesis.
Transition metals are involved in essential biological processes in plants since they are cofactors of metalloproteins and also act as regulator elements. Particularly, plant chloroplasts are organelles with high transition metal ion demand because metalloproteins are involved in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The transition metal requirement of photosynthetic organisms greatly ex...
