Ca(2+) stabilizes the semiquinone radical of pyrroloquinoline quinone.
Spectroelectrochemical studies were performed on the interaction between Ca(2+) and pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) in soluble glucose dehydrogenase (sGDH) and in the free state by applying a mediated continuous-flow column electrolytic spectroelectrochemical technique. The enzyme forms used were holo-sGDH (the holo-form of sGDH from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus) and an incompletely reconstituted...
متن کاملStructure of the pyrroloquinoline quinone radical in quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase.
Quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases use the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) cofactor to catalyze the oxidation of alcohols. The catalytic cycle is thought to involve a hydride transfer from the alcohol to the oxidized PQQ, resulting in the generation of aldehyde and reduced PQQ. Reoxidation of the cofactor by cytochrome proceeds in two sequential steps via the PQQ radical. We have used a combina...

متن کاملProduction and Radioprotective Effects of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was produced by fermentation of the Methylovorus sp. MP688 strain and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, crystallization and recrystallization. The yield of PQQ reached approximately 125 mg/L and highly pure PQQ was obtained. To determine the optimum dose of PQQ for radioprotection, three doses (2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg) of PQQ were orally administrated to ...
متن کاملPotential physiological importance of pyrroloquinoline quinone.
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a novel biofactor for which a proposition can be made for physiological importance. PQQ was first recognized as an enzyme cofactor in bacteria. It has recently been tentatively identified as a component of interstellar dust. Thus, PQQ may have been present throughout early biological conception and evolution. PQQ is also a potent plant growth factor. Consequent...
