optimization of bacterial urate oxidase enzyme activity

Modification of galactose oxidase to introduce glucose 6-oxidase activity.

The selective oxidation of the 6-hydroxy group of D-glucose to introduce an aldehyde functionality is not catalyzed by known oxidase enzymes. Selective functionalization at the glucose C-6 position in oligoand polysaccharides is a synthetically useful reaction that would greatly facilitate further chemical modifications for food, pharmaceutical, and materials applications. We chose the fungal e...

Glycolate oxidase activity in algae.

The g1lycolate oxidase reactioni by x-hich gly colate is oxidized to glyoxylate (3, 10) is catailyzed by a flavoprotein (18) th,at is widely distributed in higher plants (12) and fungi (4). Its presence is g,elleralllly assumed in all phoiosynithetic tissuies, since glycolate is an early product of photosynthesis (14), yet this substrate is tusually found in oiily minute amounits. The oxidation...

Studies on cytochrome oxidase. IV. The cytochrome oxidase activity.

where the activity is determined by measuring the rate of oxidation of reduced cytochrome c. Smith (6, 7), Conrad (8, 9), Wainio (10-13) et ~2. have extensively investigated the effect of various factors on the cytochrome oxidase activity measured by System 2 with soluble and insoluble preparations of cytochrome oxidase, whereas among those (14-30) who have employed System 1, Slater (5), using ...

Sulfite oxidase activity in Thiobacillus novellus.

Thiobacillus novellus shows a maximum induction of sulfite oxidase activity and a maximum growth rate as a result of supplementing the autotrophic growth medium with 4.0 microM ammonium molybdate. Cells grown in the presence of molybdate showed approximately 10-fold increases in the amount of enzyme-associated molybdenum and in the sulfite-to-cytochrome c and sulfite-to-ferricyanide reductase a...
