Study of the Cys-His bridge electron transfer pathway in a copper-containing nitrite reductase by site-directed mutagenesis, spectroscopic, and computational methods [PDF]
The Cys-His bridge as electron transfer conduit in the enzymatic catalysis of nitrite to nitric oxide by nitrite reductase from Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011 (SmNir) was evaluated by site-directed mutagenesis, steady state kinetic studies, UV-vis and EPR ...

The effect of essential oils and their combinations on bacteria from the surface of fresh vegetables
Is very useful to know the pathogenic strains occurrence in different geographic regions, to prevent disease occurrence in population and among the tourists, how are more susceptible to foodborne pathogens. The main goal was the detection of active antimicrobial essential oil compositions that will be used as ingredients in active packaging materials ...

Bactericidal and virucidal activity of ethanol and povidone‐iodine
The present study provides an overview of the bactericidal and virucidal activity of ethanol and povidone‐iodine based on a systematic literature search. Both ethanol and povidone‐iodine have an inactivating effect on bacteria and viruses depending on the concentrations used.

Phenotypic and Genetic Characterization of Carbapenemase and ESBLs Producing Gram-negative Bacteria (GNB) Isolated from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Tehran Hospitals [PDF]
Background: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in white populations caused by mutation in a gene that encodes Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein. Since frequent respiratory tract infections

Novel cyanide-hydrolyzing enzyme from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans [PDF]
A cyanide-metabolizing bacterium, strain DF3, isolated from soil was identified as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans. Whole cells and cell extracts of strain DF3 catalyzed hydrolysis of cyanide to formate and ammonia (HCN + 2H2O----HCOOH + NH3) without forming formamide as a free intermediate.

Nitric oxide binds to the proximal heme coordination site of the ferrocytochrome c/cardiolipin complex: formation mechanism and dynamics. [PDF]
Mammalian mitochondrial cytochrome c interacts with cardiolipin to form a complex (cyt. c/CL) important in apoptosis. Here we show that this interaction leads to structural changes in ferrocytochrome c that leads to an open coordinate site on the central
