Cultivar affects browning susceptibility of freshly cut star fruit slices

Scientia Agricola, 2006
Consumption of freshly-cut horticultural products has increased in the last few years. The principal restraint to using freshly-cut carambola is its susceptibility to tissue-browning, due to polyphenol oxidase-mediated oxidation of phenolic compounds ...

Structure and Mechanism of PhdC, a Prenylated-Flavin Maturase. [PDF]

Proteins
ABSTRACT Prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) is a modified flavin cofactor required by the UbiD family of (de)carboxylase enzymes. While the reduced prFMNH2 form is produced by the flavin prenyltransferase UbiX, the corresponding two‐electron oxidized prFMNiminium form is required to support UbiD catalysis. Thus, oxidative maturation of prFMNH2 is

A tyrosinase, mTyr-CNK, that is functionally available as a monophenol monooxygenase [PDF]

, 2019
Tyrosinase efficiently catalyzes the ortho-hydroxylation of monophenols and the oxidation of diphenols without any additional cofactors. Although it is of significant interest for the biosynthesis of catechol derivatives, the rapid catechol oxidase ...

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Biological functions controlled by manganese redox changes in mononuclear Mn-dependent enzymes [PDF]

, 2017
Remarkably few enzymes are known to employ a mononuclear manganese ion that undergoes changes in redox state during catalysis. Many questions remain to be answered about the role of substrate binding and/or protein environment in modulating the redox ...

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

UV-A light treatment for controlling enzymatic browning of fresh-cut fruits [PDF]

, 2016
Enzymatic browning is critical in the preservation of the quality and the shelf-life of fresh-cut fruits. Non-thermal technologies such as UV radiation are emerging for controlling polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, the main agent responsible for ...

A Mononuclear Scenario for the Copper‐Catalyzed Monooxygenation of Phenolic Substrates

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whereas a dinuclear pathway applies to the monooxygenation of phenols by the type 3 copper enzyme tyrosinase, a mononuclear pathway has been identified for the same reaction in corresponding small‐molecule systems. DFT calculations of five copper model complexes reveal that the latter mechanism is energetically feasible, identifying all ...

Substrate specifity and inhibitors of polyphenol oxidase in aspect of darkening of fresh and frozen mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing.)

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013
Activity of mushroom polyphenol oxidase (PPO) toward 6 substrates and inhibitory effect of cysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol, benzoic acid and sodium metabisulphite were determined. The o-diphenols which appeared to be the best substrates were: catechin, DOPA (
