Studies on Succinic Dehydrogenase
About 2 years ago the author reported that the activity of purified preparations of succinic dehydrogenase is enhanced by phosphate buffer (2). This enhancement was dependent upon the phosphate concentration and appeared to be relatively specific for phosphate, since other buffers, such as Tris,l imidazole, histidine, glycylglycine, and arsenate did not induce it (2, 3). Arsenate, in fact, inte...
متن کاملCoenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance used in the treatment of a variety of disorders primarily related to suboptimal cellular energy metabolism and oxidative injury. Studies supporting the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 appear most promising for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and certain encephalomyopathies for which coenzyme Q10 has gained orphan drug status. Results in ...
متن کاملAn automated colorimetric (tetrazolium salt) assay for serum lactate dehydrogenase.
The adaptation of a tetrazolium salt assay for serum lactate dehydrogenase to full automation is described. The tetrazolium salt, INT, (2-p-iodophenyl-3-p-nitrophenyl5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride) serves as the chromogenic indicator of the enzyme activity. Phenazine methosulfate serves as an intermediate electron carrier. Estimation requires only 5 mm. of incubation, and assays may be run at th...
متن کاملCoenzyme Q10
While some complementary and alternative techniques have been studied scientifically, high-quality data regarding safety, effectiveness, and mechanism of action are limited or controversial for most therapies. Whenever possible, it is recommended that practitioners be licensed by a recognized professional organization that adheres to clearly published standards. In addition, before starting a n...
متن کاملCoenzyme Q10
CoQ10 was discovered by Dr. Frederick L. Crane at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1950s during his research on the biochemistry of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, also known as the respiratory chain. The pure substance isolated from beef heart mitochondria was sent to Dr. Karl Folkers at the pharmaceutical company Merck for identification and elucidation of its structure. It...
