Experimental and Theoretical Reduction Potentials of Some Biologically Active ortho-Carbonyl para-Quinones.
The rational design of quinones with specific redox properties is an issue of great interest because of their applications in pharmaceutical and material sciences. In this work, the electrochemical behavior of a series of four p-quinones was studied experimentally and theoretically. The first and second one-electron reduction potentials of the quinones were determined using cyclic voltammetry a...
متن کاملMeasurement of protein phosphorylation by covalent modification of firefly luciferase.
A universal property o f cukaryotic cells is their ability to change state when activated o r attacked at the plasma membrane. Events triggered by physical, chemical and biological agents interacting with the plasma membrane include movement, secretion, differentiation, endocytosis, division or death. For such events to occur. intracellular signals, such as Ca?+ or cyclic nucleotides, must be g...
متن کاملCovalent modification of nitrogenase MoFe protein by ADP.
MgADP- reacted with the nitrogenase molybdenum-iron (MoFe) protein of Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp1) over a period of 2 h to yield a stable, catalytically active conjugate. The isolated protein exhibited a new, broad 31P NMR resonance at -1 p.p.m. lacking phosphorus J coupling. The adenine ring of [8-14C]ADP remained associated with the conjugate. A covalently bound nucleotide was identified as AM...
متن کاملPhysiological relevance of covalent protein modification by dietary isothiocyanates
Isothiocyanates (ITCs), naturally occurring in abundance in cruciferous vegetables, are the most well-studied organosulfur compounds having an electrophilic reactivity. ITCs have been accepted as major ingredients of these vegetables that afford their health promoting potentials. ITCs are able to modulate protein functions related to drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, kinases and phosphat...
متن کاملImplications of widespread covalent modification of mRNA.
W hole transcriptome analysis reveals that one third of human and mouse genes express mRNAs containing methylated adenosines. Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene, a risk gene for obesity and metabolic abnormalities , demethylates the modified residues, suggesting a link between RNA methylation and disease. Vertebrate ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), messenger RNAs (mRNAs) as we...
