The depolymerization of bacterial polysaccharides by hyalyronidase preparations.
It has been demonstrated that some strains of Aerobacter aerogenes and Achromobacter fischeri synthesized relatively large amounts of a mucopolysaccharide which was depolymerized by hyaluronidase (Warren, 1950, 1951). This synthesis is of special interest because the bacterial mucopolysaccharide (hyaluronic acid) depolymerized by hyaluronidase has been generally assumed to be limited to the cap...
متن کاملAssessment of biochemical methods to detect enzymatic depolymerization of polysaccharides
To find biocatalyst allowing depolymerization of new polysaccharides, one needs to get a sensitive and well adapted method to a screening program. This led us to compare biochemical methods of detection of the depolymerization. Currently used methods such as reducing sugars assays, double bond monitoring or molecular weight determination were tested to follow the kinetic of depolymerization wit...
متن کاملOxidative stress and reactive oxygen species.
This article discusses different aspects concerning classification/nomenclature, biochemical properties and pathophysiological roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are pivotal to interpret the concept of oxidative stress. In vitro studies in both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes clearly demonstrate that exogenous or constitutive and inducible endogenous sources of ROS together with cofact...
متن کاملReactive sulphur species in oxidative signal transduction.
Intense interest has been generated by the discovery that reactive oxygen species can function as intracellular second messengers. Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in diverse cellular processes, including growth factor signal transduction, gene expression and apoptosis. Additionally, there is evidence for proteins that are regulated by redox environment through the reversible oxidat...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species and oxidative DNA damage.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as the superoxide anion radical (O2.-) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (.OH) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of various states, including ischemia reperfusion injury, haemorrhagic shock, atherosclerosis, heart failure, acute hypertension and cancer. The free radicals, nitric oxide (NO) and O2.- react to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a p...
