Nanostructures for peroxidases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peroxidases are enzymes catalyzing redox reactions that cleave peroxides. Their active redox centers have heme, cysteine thiols, selenium, manganese, and other chemical moieties. Peroxidases and their mimetic systems have several technological and biomedical applications such as environment protection, energy production, bioremediation, sensors and immunoassays design, and drug delivery devices. The combination of peroxidases or systems with peroxidase-like activity with nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, thin films, liposomes, micelles, nanoflowers, nanorods and others is often an efficient strategy to improve catalytic activity, targeting, and reusability.

A review of structural properties, metabolic function and measurement of peroxidase activity
The production of reactive oxygen species occurs during the natural metabolism of oxidative-breathing cells. Among reactive oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide is more dangerous to cell life due to its long half-life, but it is meanwhile an important regulatory molecule in redox signaling in living things. Peroxidases are one of the key antioxidant enzymes that are widely distributed in nature an...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION O F PEROXIDASES FROM CULTIVATED RAPHANUS SATIVUS L. VAR. CICIL
Two peroxidases (EC. 1.11.1.7), POD I and POD II were purified from the roots of cultivatedRaphanus sativus L. Var. Cicil by one step ion-exchange chromatography after fractionation by acetone. The molecular weight of these enzymes were 43000 and 41000 Daltons and RZ 1.2 and 2.0 for POD I and POD II, respectively. Both enzymes consisted of a single polypeptide chain on SDS-PAGE. The maximum...
متن کاملSequence basis of Barnacle Cement Nanostructure is Defined by Proteins with Silk Homology
Barnacles adhere by producing a mixture of cement proteins (CPs) that organize into a permanently bonded layer displayed as nanoscale fibers. These cement proteins share no homology with any other marine adhesives, and a common sequence-basis that defines how nanostructures function as adhesives remains undiscovered. Here we demonstrate that a significant unidentified portion of acorn barnacle ...
متن کاملFunctions of electrostatic potentials and conserved distal and proximal His-Asp H-bonding networks in haem peroxidases.
Introduction Haem-containing peroxidases from plants, fungi and bacteria are evolutionarily related [ 11. They are built from two structural domains enveloping ferric protoporphyrin IX and contain 11 conserved helices. The two domains, it appears, originated from an early gene duplication event [2]. The general picture of these peroxidases has emerged largely from the crystal structure of mitoc...
متن کاملAlterations in Soluble Class III Peroxidases of Maize Shoots by Flooding Stress
Due to changing climate, flooding (waterlogged soils and submergence) becomes a major problem in agriculture and crop production. In the present study, the effect of waterlogging was investigated on peroxidases of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. The plants showed typical adaptations to flooding stress, i.e., alterations in chlorophyll a/b ratios and increased basal shoot diameter. Seven peroxidase ...
