Free radical metabolites of L-cysteine oxidation.
The oxidation of L-cysteine by horseradish peroxidase in the presence of oxygen forms a thiyl free radical as demonstrated with the spin-trapping ESR technique. Reactions of this thiyl free radical result in oxygen consumption, which is inhibited by the spin trap 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide. Cysteine sulfinic acid, a cysteine metabolite, is a poorer substrate for horseradish peroxidase th...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial free radical theory of aging: a critical view.
The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (MFRTA) proposes that mitochondrial free radicals, produced as by-products during normal metabolism, cause oxidative damage. According to MFRTA, the accumulation of this oxidative damage is the main driving force in the aging process. Although widely accepted, this theory remains unproven, because the evidence supporting it is largely correlative. ...
متن کاملMechanism of free radical oxidation of caffeine in aqueous solution
The oxidation of caffeine with persulfate and hydroxyl radicals in aqueous solution has been studied by EPR spectroscopy and HPLC analysis. In both cases the formation of 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid is observed as the main final product. A C8]OH radical adduct is postulated as the intermediate after reaction with OH~, and leads to the final product after further oxidation. This radical is too shor...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Free-Radical Oxidation in BCG Granulomatosis Development
BACKGROUND Little is known about the role of free-radical and oxidative stress signaling in granuloma maturation and resolution. We aimed to study the activity of free-radical oxidation processes in the dynamics of BCG-induced generalized granulomatosis in mice. METHODS Chronic granulomatous inflammation was induced in male BALB/c mice by intravenously injecting the BCG vaccine, and the produ...
متن کاملChemistry of carotenoid oxidation and free radical reactions*2
When oxygenic photosynthesis evolved, one of the key functions of carotenoids was to protect aerobic photosynthetic organisms against destruction by photodynamic sensitization. Aerobic photosynthesis would not exist without the coevolution of carotenoids alongside the chlorophylls. As carotenoids are abundant in nature, in many fruits and vegetables, they are able to react with excited states o...
