Synthesis and Characterization of Nanocrystalline Magnetic Pigment via Coordinated Precursors
Nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite as a magnetic black pigment was synthesized via coordinated precursors with a significant decrease of the synthesis temperature using citric acid as a coordinating agent. The structure and properties of the cobalt ferrite powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), colorimetric analysis (L*a*b* color parameters), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and vibr...
متن کاملControlling the delicate balance of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis.
Tetrapyrroles are a family of compounds that contain four pyrrole rings. They are involved in many fundamental biological processes such as photoreception, electron transport, gas transport and also as cofactors for enzymatic reactions. As regulators of protein activity, tetrapyrroles mediate cellular response to light, oxygen and nutrient levels in the surrounding environment. Biosynthesis of ...
متن کاملOrganization of genes for tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in gram--positive bacteria.
Clusters of genes encoding enzymes for tetrapyrrole biosynthesis were cloned from Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Brevibacillus brevis and Paenibacillus macerans. The sequences of all hemX genes found, and of a 6.3 kbp hem gene cluster from P. macerans, were determined. The structure of the hem gene clusters was compared to that of other Gram-positive bacteria. The Bacillus an...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Porphyrin Precursors
Bovine liver mitochondria have been found to contain an enzyme which will catalyze the formation of &aminolevulinic acid via a transamination reaction rather than via the condensation of glycine and succinyl coenzyme A. The enzyme, L-alanine:y,bdioxovaleric acid aminotransferase (y,&dioxovalerate transaminase) was isolated and purified to apparent homogeneity. y,&Dioxovalerate transaminase is q...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulation of Tetrapyrrole Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
Biosynthesis of chlorophyll (Chl) involves many enzymatic reactions that share several first steps for biosynthesis of other tetrapyrroles such as heme, siroheme, and phycobilins. Chl allows photosynthetic organisms to capture light energy for photosynthesis but with simultaneous threat of photooxidative damage to cells. To prevent photodamage by Chl and its highly photoreactive intermediates, ...
