Modeling low-pH hemoproteins.
A tetracoordinate ferrous heme (iron-porphyrin) has been proposed as an intermediate at low pH (less than 3.0) for respiratory hemoproteins, peroxidases, and model heme complexes. This intermediate is believed to arise via protonation of the N(epsilon) atom of the proximal histidine and consequent cleavage of the Fe-N(epsilon) bond. To establish a spectral signature for the proposed low-pH tetr...
متن کاملActivation of S1 nuclease at neutral pH.
SI nuclease is a single-strand-specific endonuclease that degrades DNA and RNA to nucleoside 5'-monophosphates. It has an acid pH optimum (4.0-4.5) and requires Zn2+ or Co2+ for maximal activity (1). This enzyme is widely used in DNA manipulation, mainly for the characterization of mRNAs (SI-mapping) (2) and the study of the tertiary structure of DNA (3, 4). A distinct disadvantage of the SI nu...
متن کاملMechanisms of amine-catalyzed organosilicate hydrolysis at circum-neutral pH.
Mono- and polyamines can catalyze the hydrolysis and condensation of organosilicate starting materials in biomimetic silica synthesis pathways at circum-neutral pHs and room temperature. Our study is focused on understanding the mechanistic role of amines in catalyzing the hydrolysis process that precedes condensation. We have conducted (29)Si NMR experimental studies over a range of temperatur...
متن کاملQuinacrine inhibits Candida albicans growth and filamentation at neutral pH.
Candida albicans is a common cause of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI), in part due to its strong propensity to form biofilms. Drug repurposing is an approach that might identify agents that are able to overcome antifungal drug resistance within biofilms. Quinacrine (QNC) is clinically active against the eukaryotic protozoan parasites Plasmodium and Giardia. We sought to investi...
متن کاملIron metabolism in anoxic environments at near neutral pH.
Anaerobic dissimilatory ferric iron-reducing and ferrous iron-oxidizing bacteria gain energy through reduction or oxidation of iron minerals and presumably play an important role in catalyzing iron transformations in anoxic environments. Numerous ferric iron-reducing bacteria have been isolated from a great diversity of anoxic environments, including sediments, soils, deep terrestrial subsurfac...
