In petroleum industry, it is desirable to produce lighter hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene and gas–oil from unused heavy oils. Thus we have developed zirconia-supporting iron oxide catalysts View the MathML source to decompose petroleum residual oil (atmospheric distilled residual oil) with steam.

To examine the role of the distal His42 residue in the catalytic mechanism of pea cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase, two site-directed variants were prepared in which His42 was replaced with alanine (H42A) or glutamic acid (H42E). Electronic spectra of the ferric derivatives of H42A and H42E (pH 7.0, l ¼ 0.10 M, 25.0 °C) revealed wavelength maxima [kmax (nm): 397, 509, % 540sh, 644 (H42A); 404, 516, % 538sh, 639 (H42E)] consistent with a predominantly fiveco-ordinate high-spin iron. The specific activity of H42E for oxidation of L-ascorbate (8.2 ± 0.

Quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase (2,3QD) is a copper-containing dioxygenase that catalyses the oxidation of the flavonol quercetin to 2-protocatechuoylphloroglucinol carboxylic acid with concomitant production of carbon monoxide. In contrast to iron dioxygenases, very little is known about copper dioxygenases. We have characterized 2,3QD from the fungus Aspergillus japonicus by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). At pH 6.0, 2,3QD shows a mixture of two EPR species. The major form has parameters typical of type 2 Cu sites (g// ¼ 2.330, A// ¼ 13.

When theaand bchains were separated from human oxyhemoglobin (HbO2), each individual chain was oxidized easily to the ferric form, their rates being almost the same with a very strong acid-catalysis. In the HbO2tetramer, on theother hand, bothchains become considerably resistant to autoxidation over a wide range of pH values (pH 5±11).

The beneficial influence of dietary curcumin, capsaicin and their combina-tion on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidation was examined in an animal study. Individually, both dietary curcumin and capsaicin significantly inhibited thein vivo iron-induced LDL oxidation, as well as copper-induced oxidation of LDLin vitro. The protective effect of the combination of curcumin and capsaicin on LDL oxidation was greater than that of individual compounds.

Specificity for plastoquinone was observed. Neither ubiquinone, duroquinone, phylloquinone nor ben-zoquinone could substitute for plastoquinone in this assay. However, duroquinol (fully reduced chemically) was an accepted substrate. Iron is also required and cannot be substituted by Cu 2+ ,Zn 2+ or Mn 2+ . ...

Exposure of mammalian cells to oxidant stress causes early (iron catalysed) lysosomal rupture followed by apoptosis or necrosis. Enhanced intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), presumably of mitochondrial origin, is also observed when cells are exposed to nonoxidant pro-apoptotic agonists of cell death. We hypothesized that ROS generation in this latter case might promote the apoptotic cascade and could arise from effects of released lysosomal materials on mitochondria.

Intravenous iron, used for the treatment of anemia in chronic renal failure andother diseases, represents a possible source of free iron in tissue cells, particularly in the liver. In this study we examined the effect of different sources of intravenous iron (IVI) on the labile iron pool (LIP) which represents the nonferritin-bound, redox-active iron that is implicated in oxidative stress and cell injury. Furthermore, we examined the role of the LIP for the synthesis of ferritin.

Lactoferrin (LF) is a Fe 3+ -binding glycoprotein, first recognized in milk and then in other human epithelial secretions and barrier fluids. Many different functions have been attributed to LF, including protection from iron-induced lipid peroxidation, immunomodulation and cell growthregulation, DNA binding, and transcriptional acti-vation. Its physiological role is still unclear, but it has been suggested to be responsible for primary defense against microbial and viral infection.

Diseases transmitted by hematophagous (blood-feeding) insects are responsible for millions of human deaths world-wide. Inhematophagous insects, thebloodmeal is important for regulating egg maturation. Although a high concentra-tion of iron is toxic for most organisms, hematophagous insects seemunaffectedby the iron load inabloodmeal.One means by which hematophagous insects handle this iron load is, perhaps, by the expression of iron-binding proteins, specifically the iron storage protein ferritin....

The cysteine-rich peptide hepcidin is known to be an antimicrobial peptide and iron transport regulator that has been found in both fish and mam-mals. Recently, we found two different types (designated Hep-JF1 and Hep-JF2) of hepcidin cDNA in the Japanese flounder,Paralichthys oliva-ceus, by expressed sequence tag analysis. The identity of amino acid sequences between Hep-JF1 and Hep-JF2 was 51%. The Hep-JF1 and Hep-JF2 genes both consist of three exons and two introns, and both exist as single copies in the genome. ...

Proteolysis of single polypeptide mammalian purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) results in the loss of an interaction between the loop residue Asp146 and the active site residues Asn91 and⁄or His92. While Asn91 is a ligand to the divalent metal of the mixed-valent di-iron center, the role of His92 in the catalytic mechanism is unknown. Site-directed mutagenesis of His92 was performed to examine the role of this residue in single polypep-tide PAP.

Alkene monooxygenase (AMO) fromRhodococcus rhodochrous(formerly Nocardia corallina) B-276 belongs to a family of multicomponent nonheme binuclear iron-centre oxygenases that includes the soluble methane mono-oxygenases (sMMOs) found in some methane-oxidizing bacteria. The enzymes catalyse the insertion of oxygen into organic substrates (mostly hydrocarbons) at the expense of O2and NAD(P)H.
