Enzymic Hydrolysis of Flavin Mononucleotide 2′, 3′-Dibutyrate

Phosphoinositides. 3. Enzymic hydrolysis of inositol-containing phospholipids.

The enzymic hydrolysis of carrageenin.

Carrageenin is the water soluble polysaccharide extractable from the red algae Chondrus crispus and Gigartina stellata. The polysaccharide is essentially a polymer of alpha-D-galactopyranoside-4-sulphate. Smith et al. (1954) fractionated carrageenin with potassium chloride into two components and obtained a precipitable component which could form gels and a nongelling component which remained i...

Interaction of bacterial luciferase with 8-substituted flavin mononucleotide derivatives.

Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the emission of visible light from the reaction of reduced flavin, molecular oxygen, and an n-alkyl aldehyde. The mechanism of the reaction was probed by measuring the electronic effects of various substituents at the 8-position of the flavin ring system. Substituent effects were obtained for CH3-, Cl-, CH3O-, CH3S-, F-, and H- on the rate of formation and decay o...

Flavin mononucleotide: the coenzyme of reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide dehydrogenase.

From the particulate reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (DPNH) oxidase of beef heart, Mackler (3) has obtained a soluble DPNH dehydrogenase which was estimated to be approximately 90 to 95% homogenous when examined electrophoretically.l Similarly, when the enzyme was chromatographed on diethylaminoethyl cellulose with phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, in a gradient elution method (0.001 M to 0.0...
