Structure and function of octopine dehydrogenase of Pecten maximus (great scallop).
This enzymic reaction was discovered in 1959 in some marine invertebrates (Thoai & Robin, 1959). ODH was first isolated from Pecfen maximus (Thoai ef al., 1969). Since then this enzyme has been purified from other invertebrates (Gade, 1980). In molluscs capable of rapid locomotion, or short-term bursts of muscular activity, ODH performs a function similar to that of lactate dehydrogenase in ver...
متن کاملInsights into the Mechanism of Ligand Binding to Octopine Dehydrogenase from Pecten maximus by NMR and Crystallography
Octopine dehydrogenase (OcDH) from the adductor muscle of the great scallop, Pecten maximus, catalyzes the NADH dependent, reductive condensation of L-arginine and pyruvate to octopine, NAD(+), and water during escape swimming and/or subsequent recovery. The structure of OcDH was recently solved and a reaction mechanism was proposed which implied an ordered binding of NADH, L-arginine and final...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of an Endozoicomonas-Like Organism Causing Infection in the King Scallop (Pecten maximus L.)
One of the fastest growing fisheries in the UK is the king scallop (Pecten maximus L.), also currently rated as the second most valuable fishery. Mass mortality events in scallops have been reported worldwide, often with the causative agent(s) remaining uncharacterized. In May 2013 and 2014, two mass mortality events affecting king scallops were recorded in the Lyme Bay marine protected area (M...

Ž . The purpose of this study was to find the minimum inhibitory concentrations MIC for the following antibacterial agents: chloramphenicol, florfenicol, flumequine and the combination Ž . trimethoprimrsulfadiazine to bacteria associated with scallop Pecten maximus larvae. To evaluate possible effects of components in seawater to the antimicrobial activity of these agents, MIC values were estab...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Piper longum L.
Background and objectives: The cholinergic deficit correlates with the severity of Alzheimer’s disease. The cholinergic function can be improved by AChE inhibitors blocking this key enzyme in the breakdown of acetylcholine. Based on traditional medicine, during two last decades the use of herbal medicinal substances in dementia therapy has been studied. The fruit extract of <em...
