Photoinactivation of Aspartate Aminotransferase
Abstract The cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate bound through an aldimine linkage to lysine residues of the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase is very stable to irradiation with light of 420 nm. The catalytic function of the enzyme exposed to light absorbed by the cofactor remains unaffected, indicating that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is not an efficient ...

The active site of Sulfolobus solfataricus aspartate aminotransferase [PDF]
Aspartate aminotransferase from the archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus binds pyridoxal 5' phosphate, via an aldimine bond, with Lys-241. This residue has been identified by reducing the enzyme in the pyridoxal form with sodium cyanoboro[H-3]hydride ...

ANTIOXIDANT , HEPATORENAL AND MUTAGENIC EFFECTS OF BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE [PDF]
The antioxidants, biochemical, and mutagenic effects of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in doses of 3 and 30 mg/kg b.wt. were studied in normal and CC14-intoxicated rats. The oral LD59 of BHT in rats was 1740 mg/kg b.wt.

Occurrence and distribution of aspartate aminotransferases in spruce and beech ectomycorrhizas [PDF]
Activities and localization of aspartate aminotransferases (AAT) were determined in spruce and beech ectomycorrhizas, as well as in nonmycorrhizal roots and fungi in pure culture. Preliminary data emphasized the importance of AAT in amino acid synthesis;

Impact of increased aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase (De Ritis) ratio in prognosis of testicular cancer [PDF]
Purpose: Imaging studies can show metastasis in testicular cancer (TCa); however, a test for risk of metastasis in TCa has not been described. The ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase, also called the De Ritis ratio (DRR), is ...

Serum Aminotransferase Level in Rhabdomyolysis according to Concurrent Liver Disease
Background/Aims: The serum aminotransferase level is usually elevated in rhabdomyolysis, and these enzymes originate from the skeletal muscle. On the other hand, there is limited data showing whether the degree of elevation of these enzymes differs ...
