Localization and Regulation of Two NAD Nucleosidases in Ehrlich Ascites Cells [PDF]
After differential centrifugation of Ehrlich ascites cells by the de Duve method, NAD nuclosidase activities were found in the nuclear and the microsomal fractions, but not in the lysosomal fraction. The nuclear NAD nucleosidase is inhibited 50% by 0.2 mM nicotinamide and is highly specific for β-NAD.

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

Influence of Dielectric Environment upon Isotope Effects onGlycoside Heterolysis: Computational Evaluation and AtomicHessian Analysis [PDF]
Isotope effects depend upon the polarity of the bulk medium in which a chemical process occurs. Implicit solvent calculations with molecule-shaped cavities show that the equilibrium isotope effect (EIE) for heterolysis of the glycosidic bonds in 5 ...

Role of urate, xanthine oxidase and the effects of allopurinol in vascular oxidative stress [PDF]
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of vascular endothelial dysfunction. The two major systems generating vascular oxidative stress are the NADPH oxidase and the xanthine oxidase pathways. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor,
