Octahedral substitution mechanisms and reactive intermediates

SnapShot: Reactive Oxygen Intermediates (ROI)

Chemically reactive intermediates and pulmonary xenobiotic toxicity.

After reading this lengthy review, the reader may consider it foolhardy to attempt to summarize the data contained herein. If so, the author and the reader are in complete accord. I set out to integrate, wherever possible, pathological changes in tissues and cells as determined by light, scanning, and TEM with chemical, biochemical, molecular, biological, and genetic techniques. I am not so nai...

Resolution of Recombination Intermediates: Mechanisms and Regulation.

DNA strand break repair by homologous recombination leads to the formation of intermediates in which sister chromatids are covalently linked. The efficient processing of these joint molecules, which often contain four-way structures known as Holliday junctions, is necessary for efficient chromosome segregation during mitotic division. Because persistent chromosome bridges pose a threat to genom...

Reactive intermediates in cytochrome p450 catalysis.

Recently, we reported the spectroscopic and kinetic characterizations of cytochrome P450 compound I in CYP119A1, effectively closing the catalytic cycle of cytochrome P450-mediated hydroxylations. In this minireview, we focus on the developments that made this breakthrough possible. We examine the importance of enzyme purification in the quest for reactive intermediates and report the preparati...
