Cxvi. Maleic Acid as Inhibitor of Enzyme Reactions Induced by Sh-compounds by Edward
نویسنده
چکیده
IT has been shown recently [Morgan & Friedmann, 1938] that maleic acid and SH-compounds interact with the formation of well defined, stable addition compounds. We have applied this reaction to the study of some enzyme reactions which are held to be induced by SH-compounds. We have found, in every case examined, that maleic acid inhibits enzyme reactions of this kind or under other conditions decreases their speed. SH-compounds play a role in enzyme reactions in two forms, as coenzymes (A) and as active groups ofsome enzymes (B). The following paper gives examples of the inhibiting effect of maleic acid in these two classes of enzyme reactions.

C. Interaction of Maleic Acid with Thiol Compounds
IT was observed by one of us (E. J. M.) that the titratable SH of glutathione was greatly decreased by incubation with maleic acid in absence or in presence of oxygen at pH 7x4 and 370 (but not with fumaric acid). Thiolacetic acid and cysteine behaved similarly to glutathione. The results contained in this paper show that the disappearance of the SH-groups is due to the circumstance that each o...

متن کاملSMA-SH: Modified Styrene-Maleic Acid Copolymer for Functionalization of Lipid Nanodiscs.
Challenges in purification and subsequent functionalization of membrane proteins often complicate their biochemical and biophysical characterization. Purification of membrane proteins generally involves replacing the lipids surrounding the protein with detergent molecules, which can affect protein structure and function. Recently, it was shown that styrene-maleic acid copolymers (SMA) can disso...
متن کاملProfiling transcriptomes of human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed to maleic acid
BACKGROUND Maleic acid is a multi-functional chemical widely used in the field of industrial chemistry for producing food additives and food contact materials. As maleic acid may contaminate food by the release from food packages or intentional addition, it raises the concern about the effects of excessive dietary exposure to maleic acid on human health. However, the influence of maleic acid on...

1,3-dialkyl 3-phenylpyrrolidine-2, 5-diones were modified to produce potential steroid sulphatase inhibitors. These modifications were aimed at producing compounds, which could be expected to bind reasonably well to the active site of the steroid sulphatase enzyme but could not be hydrolyzed readily by the enzyme due to the covalent S-C bond present. In this regard the sulphinic acid deriv...
