Enzymatic oxidation and hydrolysis of glutathione by different tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The enzymatic oxidation of reduced glutathione through a cytochrome c-linked system by a cell-free preparation of mouse kidney has been reported previously (1). Neubeck and Smythe (2) have reported the use of guinea pig liver to hydrolyze glutathione enzymatically with the liberation of cysteine; this system has been reviewed recently by Smythe (3). In this contribution the relative rates of enzymatic hydrolysis and oxidation of glutathione are investigated and the activities of cytochrome oxidase and the glutathione oxidase system are compared in several tissues of mouse and guinea pig.

Enhancing Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose by Ultrasonic Pretreatment
Slurries of rice-straw cellulose (obtained by delignification and removal of hemicelluloses from the powdered raw material) were subjected to ultrasonic waves at different intensities for various times (constant temperature). Susceptibility of the samples to cellulose-hydrolysis increased initially with pretreatment time, reaching a maximum or a constant level thereafter. Maximum glucose yi...
متن کاملEffects of Ultrasonic and High-Pressure Homogenization Pretreatment on the Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Antioxidant Activity of Yeast Protein Hydrolysate
Protein hydrolysate is highly regarded as a source of naturally occurring antioxidant peptides. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ultrasonic (Frequency, 20 KHz; Amplitude, 50%; Time, 30 min) and high-pressure homogenization (Power, 1500 bar; Rated flow, 10 dm/h) pretreatmenton the enzymatic hydrolysis and antioxidant properties of yeast protein hydrolysate obtained from...
متن کاملKinetic Modeling of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Pretreated Sorghum Bicolor and Rice Husk
In this study, the hydrolysis of pretreated sorghum stem and rice husk was investigated at various initial enzyme concentrations and substrate loadings. The slowdown in enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials with conversion has often been attributed to decreasing the activity of enzyme. A kinetic model was developed and expressed mathematically based on enzyme deactivation for enzyma...
