Redox outside the box: linking extracellular redox remodeling with intracellular redox metabolism.
Aerobic organisms generate reactive oxygen species as metabolic side products and must achieve a delicate balance between using them for signaling cellular functions and protecting against collateral damage. Small molecule (e.g. glutathione and cysteine)- and protein (e.g. thioredoxin)-based buffers regulate the ambient redox potentials in the various intracellular compartments, influence the s...
متن کاملThe Direct Electrochemical Investigation of Redox Enzymes
Even though the use of enzymes as useful analytical reagents when immobilized onto a transducer such as an electrochemical device has been reported in the literature for nearly two decades, the direct, i.e. unmediated electrochemistry of enzymes is, nevertheless, a rather recent development. Efforts will be made to introduce the fundamental basis for protein-surface interactions with emphas...
متن کاملThe black box of lung redox.
The redox systems in the lung are complex, highly intercommunicative, and affect diverse aspects of lung physiology, immunology and cellular biology, and for all intents and purposes, they are essentially unmeasurable in vivo. Measurement of one component species of the redox systems in isolation, for example nitric oxide (NO), leaves one with little insight into the remainder of the biochemica...
متن کاملProbing the intracellular redox status of tumors with magnetic resonance imaging and redox-sensitive contrast agents.
Nitroxide radicals are paramagnetic contrast agents, used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that also exert antioxidant effects. Participating in cellular redox reactions, they lose their ability to provide contrast as a function of time after administration. In this study, the rate of contrast loss was correlated to the reducing power of the tissue or the "redox status." The preferential re...
متن کاملMitochondria: Redox Metabolism and Dysfunction
Mitochondria are the main intracellular location for fuel generation; however, they are not just power plants but involved in a range of other intracellular functions including regulation of redox homeostasis and cell fate. Dysfunction of mitochondria will result in oxidative stress which is one of the underlying causal factors for a variety of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, dia...
