The peroxidase–oxidase reaction was he first (bio)chemical to show chaotic dynamics. Here, we that the rich complex dynamics observed in a detailed model of changes dramatically with enzyme concentration.

Polyphenol oxidase is the popular enzyme involved in fruit-vegetable browning and melanin synthesis. In present paper, L-3-phenyllactic acid, a natural bacteriostatic substance, was investigated as an inhibitor of polyphenol oxidase. The results were demonstrated that residual activity decreased gradually with increase concentration acid. L ΔE values reaction system increased gradually. reversi...

The nature of the prosthetic groups of monoamine oxidase has been the subject of much conjecture, and definitive experimental results have not been obtained. The results of Tabor et al. (1) suggest that pyridoxal phosphate may be the coenzyme of the enzyme, and Gorkin and Romanova (2) have suggested that the enzyme is a metalloenzyme. Others (3, 4) have proposed that monoamine oxidase is a flav...

Xanthine oxidase (EC 1.2.3.2) activity increases in liver of rabbits deficient in vitamin E. Immunochemical titration of the enzyme demonstrates that the elevation of activity is due to an increased accumulation of the enzyme protein rather than activation of preexisting enzyme molecules. Immunochemically, xanthine oxidase from deficient animals is indistinguishable from the enzyme from control...

microcantilevers (mcls) are cost-effective and highly sensitive devices for biodetection. adsorption of specific analytes on the microcantilever surface causes the bending of mcl through changing of the surface characteristics. these new bioprobes designed in a way that one side of the microcantilever surface is coated with a selective receptor that absorbs particular molecules. after surface a...

The effect of Annona squamosa, Lawsonia inermis and their combination with other herbal molluscicides were studied on different enzyme activity in the nervous tissue of Lymnaea acuminata. Twenty-Four hour in vivo exposure to 40% and 80% of 24 h LC50 of plant derived molluscicides and their combination with other molluscicides such as Cedrus deodara, Azadirachta indica oil, Allium sativum, Polia...

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity varied in differentiation from hyphae to rhizomorph and croute in A. mellea. In undifferentiated hyphae there was not any PPO activity, while croute showed the highest activity. Electrophoresis in the presence of SDS allows the detection of intensive enzyme forms of PPO, and can also convert slower migrating enzyme forms to faster ones. Some fluorescent co...

direct electron transferring of glucose oxidase was investigated   on reduced graphene and graphene oxide templates. the direct electrochemistry   glucose oxidase on   graphene showed a cyclic voltammograms corresponding to the fad/fadh 2   redox couple with an anodic, cathodic and formal potential of -430, -460 and   -445 mv, respectively in 0.1 m phosphate buffer solution and air saturated   ...

1. The catalytic properties of xanthine oxidase in bovine milk (EC 1.2.3.2) are dependent on the state of the enzyme, i.e. whether free or bound to the fat-globule membrane. Oxidase activity of the membrane-bound enzyme towards NADH is enhanced relative to that towards xanthine. This reflects a change in the relative K(m) values and enables the ratio of xanthine to NADH oxidase activities (X/N)...

Recently it has been observed that liver enzyme activity may be markedly affected by dietary conditions. Seifter et al. (1) have demonstrated that during complete dietary protein deprivation loss of arginase and n-amino acid oxidase from rat liver occurs more rapidly than loss of general liver protein. We (2) have observed that the level of xanthine oxidase activity in rat liver may be altered ...
