Heme degradation with participation of the superoxide radical in the presence of NADH and lipoamide dehydrogenase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemin degradation was observed in the presence of NADH and lipoamide dehydrogenase at pH 6.5-9.0. The degradation was inhibited by 80% by catalase and by 70% by superoxide dismutase. This system oxidized oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin but only slightly degraded heme in hemoglobin.

Production of OH-radical-type oxidant by lucigenin.
In the presence of NADH- reductases (dihydrolipoamide: NAD oxidoreductase E. C.1.8.1.4 from pig heart or from Clostridium kluyveri; frequently also addressed as "diaphorases") and NADH lucigenin strongly increases ethylene production from a-keto-methylthiobutyrate (KMB) as an indicator for strong oxidants of the OH-radical type. These reactions are further stimulated in the presence of Fe3+ ion...

This study investigated the effect of the anthracycline antibiotics on oxygen radical metabolism by cardiac mitochondrial reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase [NADH:(acceptor) oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.99.3]. Superoxide formation by NADH dehydrogenase after anthracycline treatment appeared to follow saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 167.3, 73.3, 64.0, or 47.6 mic...

Introduction: Recently depleted uranium is being widely used as anti-armour ammunition and at very high temperature, results in information of an aerosol of very small uranium oxide particles, which may be inhaled. It is alleged that these particles represent a new battlefield hazard because of the chemical toxicology and/or radioactivity. Method & materials: Male Wistar strain albino rats ...
متن کاملEffects of site-directed mutations in Escherichia coli succinate dehydrogenase on the enzyme activity and production of superoxide radicals.
Escherichia coli succinate dehydrogenase (SdhCDAB) catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate in the Krebs cycle, and during turnover, it produces superoxide radicals. SdhCDAB is a good model system for the succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) found in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (complex II), as the subunits are structural homologues. Although mutations in sdh genes are reportedly assoc...
