Fast analysis of nitrobenzene by nitroreductase modified electrode

open access: yes, 2011
Nitroreductase (NR) was modified on glass carbon electrode and used in nitrobenzene analysis. Both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and triple potential step chronocoulometry (TPSC) with a narrow potential step interval were used.

Flavin-Dependent Nitroreductases

open access: yesChemCatChem
Nitroreductases, present within both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, form a group of flavin-dependent enzymes capable of reducing nitro compounds using NAD(P)H as reducing agent. These enzymes have been widely studied due to their diverse roles in bioremediation, cancer therapy, cell ablation, and antimicrobial resistance.

Molecular Study: Nitroreductase Enzyme and Nitroimmidazole Resistance Genes (Nim Genes) Effect on AMR to Metronidazole in Clostridium difficile [PDF]

open access: yes
Nitroreductase enzymes and Nim genes have been observed to be a factor predisposing to reduced susceptibility to metronidazole in anaerobic bacteria. Therefore, this study was determined the effect of nitroreductase enzymes and nim genes in metronidazole

Degradation of trinitrotoluene by transgenic nitroreductase in Arabidopsis plants

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2018
The explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutant. TNT is toxic to many organisms, it is known to be a potential human carcinogen, and is persistent in the environment.

Directed Evolution and Discovery of Nitroreductase Enzymes for Targeted Cell Ablation

open access: yes, 2015
Nitroreductase enzymes are a superfamily of bacterial flavoproteins that can catalyze the reduction of aromatic nitro groups. The reduction of an aromatic nitro group, a highly electronegative functionality, causes a large electronic shift that can ...

Discovery and directed evolution of nitroreductase enzymes for activation of prodrugs and PET imaging compounds

open access: yes, 2017
Bacterial nitroreductase enzymes, which exhibit the capacity to reduce a wide range of nitroaromatic drugs, antibiotics and environmental pollutants, have shown promise in the activation of prodrugs such as CB1954 and PR-104A.

Nitroaryl Phosphoramides as Novel Prodrugs for E. coli Nitroreductase Activation in Enzyme Prodrug Therapy

open access: yes, 2016
Cyclic and acyclic nitroaryl phosphoramide mustard analogues were activated by E. coli nitroreductase, an enzyme explored in GDEPT. The more active acyclic 4-nitrobenzyl phosphoramide mustard (7) showed 167 500× selective cytotoxicity toward ...

Quinone- and nitroreductase reactions of Thermotoga maritima 3 peroxiredoxin–nitroreductase hybrid enzyme

open access: yes, 2012
Thermotoga maritima peroxiredoxin–nitroreductase hybrid enzyme (Prx–NR) consists of a FMN-containing nitroreductase (NR) domain fused to a peroxiredoxin (Prx) domain. These domains seem to function independently as no electron transfer occurs between them.
