Determination of the prosthetic group and titration of sulfhydryl group of ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) from roots of radish (Raphanus sativus var acanthiformis cv Miyashige) confirmed its similarity to leaf-FNR. Antisera directed against radish root-FNR and leaf-FNR distinguished the enzyme forms from roots and leaves of radish as well as other flowering plants. The FNR isoenzymes sho...

equisetum telmateia (equisetaceae) seems to have anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. in the present study, the neuroprotective effects of organic and inorganic silica were investigated on spinal cord alpha motoneuron of rats after injury of sciatic nerve. after highly compression of sciatic nerve in 42 wistar rats, the injured rats were divided into sham (n= 6) and two experimental gr...

Saure Carhoxypeptidase, welche Phenylalanin von CbO-Leu-Phe-OH bei pH 5,3 abspaltet, ist ein in höheren Angiospermen weit verbreitetes Enzym. Es scheint dagegen in primitiven Angiospermen (Fagus und Magnolia) sowie in Gymnospermen und Kryptogamen (Ausnahme: Equisetum) zu fehlen. Bei Zitrone ist die Aktivität saurer Carboxypeptidase von Natur und Alter der extrahierten Gewebe abhängig (Exocarp u...
