Flavohemoglobin, a globin with a peroxidase-like catalytic site.
Biochemical studies of flavohemoglobin (Hmp) from Escherichia coli suggest that instead of aerobic oxygen delivery, a dioxygenase converts NO to NO3(-) and anaerobically, an NO reductase converts NO to N(2)O. To investigate the structural features underlying the chemical reactivity of Hmp, we have measured the resonance Raman spectra of the ligand-free ferric and ferrous protein and the CO deri...
متن کاملCatalytic surface radical in dye-decolorizing peroxidase: a computational, spectroscopic and site-directed mutagenesis study
Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) of Auricularia auricula-judae has been expressed in Escherichia coli as a representative of a new DyP family, and subjected to mutagenic, spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational studies. The crystal structure of DyP shows a buried haem cofactor, and surface tryptophan and tyrosine residues potentially involved in long-range electron transfer from bulk...
متن کاملA study of the horseradish peroxidase catalytic site by FTIR spectroscopy.
Vibrational changes in the catalytic site of horseradish peroxidase were investigated by FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy in the 1000-2500 cm(-1) range. Difference spectra were generated by photolysis of the haemII-CO compound at different pH/pD values. The spectra report on the fine structure around the catalytic site and show vibrational changes of protein backbone, amino acid r...
متن کاملHuman catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase activity.
In order to generate catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, we prepared GSH-S-DNP butyl ester and GSH-S-DNP benzyl ester as the haptens. Two ScFvs that bound specifically to the haptens were selected from the human phage-displayed antibody library. The two ScFv genes were highly homologous, consisting of 786 bps and belonging to the same VH family-DP25. In the premise ...
متن کاملPeroxidase-Like Catalytic Activity of Ag3PO4 Nanocrystals Prepared by a Colloidal Route
Nearly monodispersed Ag3PO4 nanocrystals with size of 10 nm were prepared through a colloidal chemical route. It was proven that the synthesized Ag3PO4 nanoparticles have intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity. They can quickly catalyze oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3, 3, 5, 5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, producing a blue color. The catalysis reaction follow...
