Direct Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide from Hydrogen and Oxygen by Using a Water-Soluble Iridium Complex and Flavin Mononucleotide**
نویسندگان
چکیده
H2 , O2 to H2 O2 : The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen in water has been made possible by using an iridium(III) complex, [Ir(III) (Cp*)(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN(2) )benzoic acid-κC(3) )(H2 O)]2 SO4 , and flavin mononucleotide. This method gives hydrogen peroxide with a high turnover number (847) and yield (19.2 %) under normal pressure and at room temperature.

Towards the molecular mechanism of respiratory complex I.
Complex I (NADH:quinone oxidoreductase) is crucial to respiration in many aerobic organisms. In mitochondria, it oxidizes NADH (to regenerate NAD+ for the tricarboxylic acid cycle and fatty-acid oxidation), reduces ubiquinone (the electrons are ultimately used to reduce oxygen to water) and transports protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane (to produce and sustain the protonmotive force...

The formation of hydrogen peroxide during the oxidation of NADH by purified preparations of cytochrome o has been demonstrated by employing three independent methods: polarographic, calorimetric, and fluorometric. The first two methods were used to assay for the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and showed that hydrogen peroxide did accumulate as a product, but only about 30% of the oxygen cons...

متن کاملReduction of Hydrophilic Ubiquinones by the Flavin in Mitochondrial NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase (Complex I) and Production of Reactive Oxygen Species†
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from bovine heart mitochondria is a complicated, energy-transducing, membrane-bound enzyme that contains 45 different subunits, a non-covalently bound flavin mononucleotide, and eight iron-sulfur clusters. The mechanisms of NADH oxidation and intramolecular electron transfer by complex I are gradually being defined, but the mechanism linking ubiquinone...
