Red blood cell endothelial nitric oxide synthase: A major player in regulating cardiovascular health
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have traditionally been seen as simple carriers of gases and nutrients in the body. One important non‐canonical function of RBCs in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. It has been shown that RBCs can scavenge NO, transport NO metabolites and produce NO in hypoxic conditions ...

Selective Oxidation of α,β‐Unsaturated Alcohols With Lyophilisates of Bjerkandera adusta
Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The biocatalytic aerobic production of (E)‐2‐allylic aldehydes from their corresponding alcohols using lyophilisates of the basidiomycetous fungus Bjerkandera adusta is reported. The addition of small amounts of organic solvents to the reaction media increased the reaction and substrate conversion rates, allowing for to produce (E)‐aldehydes ...

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the pursuit of novel antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory agents, we investigated 5‐hydroxyferulic acid (5‐OHFA), a hydroxylated derivative of the well‐known phenolic compound ferulic acid (FA). This study aimed to determine whether structural modification enhances the biological activity of FA.

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen

Oxidoreductases: Significance for Humans and Microorganism
, 2021 Oxidoreductases consist of a large class of enzymes catalyzing the transfer of electrons from an electron donor (reductant) to an electron acceptor (oxidant) molecule. Since so many chemical and biochemical transformations comprise oxidation/reduction processes, it has long been an important goal in biotechnology to develop practical biocatalytic ...

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.In this study, formatotrophic biotransformations in recombinant Cupriavidus necator catalyzed by Rieske oxygenases (ROs) toward various oxyfunctionalized olefins are demonstrated. The oxidation of formate regenerates NADH, the ROs’ cofactor, essentially fueling the reaction.
