Mechanism of hemolysis induced by ferriprotoporphyrin IX.
Incubation of a 0.5% suspension of washed, normal mouse erythrocytes with ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4 caused potassium loss, swelling, increased susceptibility to hypotonic lysis, and finally hemolysis. Hemolysis was not inhibited by incubation in the dark, malonyldialdehyde was not produced, and various free radical scavengers had no effect on the hemolysis. Only the...
متن کاملIntracellular Ferriprotoporphyrin IX Is
Human erythrocytes were treated with menadione to oxidatively denature hemoglobin and release ferriprotoporphyrin IX (ferriheme, FP) intracellularly. The high affinity of FP for chloroquine was used to detect its release. After incubation for 1 hr at 37’C and pH 7.4 with 0.5 mM menadione, erythrocytes bound 14C-chloroquine with an apparent dissociation constant of 1O M. Untreated erythrocytes d...
متن کاملAb initio methods.
Ab initio structure prediction seeks to predict the native conformation of a protein from the amino acid sequence alone. Such attempts are both a fundamental test of our understanding of protein folding, and an important practical challenge in this era of large scale genome sequencing projects, which are producing large numbers of protein sequences for which no three-dimensional structural info...
متن کاملdevelopment of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles
a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
Inhibition of intramacrophage growth of Penicillium marneffei by 4-aminoquinolines.
The antimicrobial activities of chloroquine (CQ) and several 4-aminoquinoline drugs were tested against Penicillium marneffei, an opportunistic fungus that invades and grows inside macrophages and causes disseminated infection in AIDS patients. Human THP1 and mouse J774 macrophages were infected in vitro with P. marneffei conidia and treated with different doses of drugs for 24 to 48 h followed...
