In this study, the factors in overnight dwell fluid (8 to 10 hr dwell) depressing granulocyte (GC) NAD(P)H-oxidase dependent radical species production are characterized. At present, most studies have essentially focused on fresh, unspent dialysate and on peritoneal macrophages. The response to

The type II quinohemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas putida is a periplasmic enzyme that oxidizes substrate alcohols to the aldehyde and transfers electrons first to pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and then to an internal heme group. The 1.9 A resolution crystal structure reveals that

Recently we reported that the release profile of cinnamaldehyde from a sugar-free chewing gum was correlated to the release of the sugar alcohol phase or was not in agreement with the log P model. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate mechanisms of cinnamaldehyde release from a

The present study utilizes 1H NMR spectroscopy to characterize the binding of substrate to heme active site of three different peroxidases, horseradish peroxidase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase. Information has been obtained on the site of p-cresol binding to the active-site cavity of

Considering the importance of the polarizability of the rings of calixarenes in the entropy-driven interaction processes, we examined the effect of entropy compensation on the complex formation of cone and partial cone (paco) conformers of tetranitro-calix [4]arene, possessing O-ethyl substituents

Monte Carlo statistical mechanics simulations have been used to study the complexation of disubstituted benzenes by Diederich's octamethoxy tetraoxaparacyclophane host. Relative free energies of binding were obtained in water at 25 degrees C for benzene, p-xylene, p-cresol, p-dicyanobenzene, and

The spectroscopic, conformational, and reactivity characteristics of the T67R variant of sperm whale myoglobin have been studied to assess the effects of introducing an arginine residue into the distal side of this protein, as occurs in the active site of heme peroxidases. The overall circular

Binding of aromatic substrate molecules to myeloperoxidase has been investigated by EPR spectroscopy and model building. Binding of aromatic substrate molecules, such as phenol, p-cresol, resorcinol, and 4-amino salicylate, replaces the original rhombic high spin EPR spectrum of the ferric enzyme (g

The fast reaction of gaseous ozone, O(3)(g), with aqueous iodide, I(-)(aq), was found to be affected by environmentally relevant cosolutes in experiments using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) for the detection of gaseous and interfacial
