Nitrate reductase of spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaves which had been inactivated in vitro by treatment with NADH and cyanide, was reactivated by incubation with oxidant systems and measured as FMNH2-dependent activity. Ferricyanide, a purely chemical oxidant, produced rapid maximal reactivation
Cresols are ubiquitous due to industrial production and natural presence. o-cresol (2-methyl phenol) is highly toxic to both fauna and flora. It has been included in the EPA list as one of the priority pollutants. The deleterious effects of pesticides, herbicides, and many other chemical compounds
Two redox active tyrosines are present in the homologous polypeptides D1 and D2 of photo-system II (PS II). TyrZ (D1-161) is involved in the electron transfer reactions resulting in oxygen evolution, while TyrD (D2-160) usually forms a dark-stable radical. In Mn-depleted PS II, TyrD. can be slowly
Prereduction of the intersystem pool in isolated spinach chloroplasts leads to the appearance of a slow phase in the field-indicating 515-nm change induced by a flash. Measurements with the pH-indicator dye cresol red show that a proton uptake is associated with this slow 515-nm change. When water
Guaiacol peroxidase from spinach catalyzes the oxidation of p-aminophenol to produce the aminophenoxy radical as the primary product which is converted further into a stable oxidation product with an absorption peak at 470 nm. The p-aminophenol radicals oxidize ascorbate (AsA) to produce
