Natural rubber (NR), poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), is used in an industrial scale for more than 100 years. Most of the NR-derived materials are released to the environment as waste or by abrasion of small particles from our tires.

The Roles of Jumonji-Type Oxygenases in Human Disease
The iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases constitute a phylogenetically conserved class of enzymes that catalyze hydroxylation reactions in humans by acting on various types of substrates, including metabolic intermediates, amino acid residues in

Heme oxygenase-like dimetal oxidases and oxygenases. [PDF]
Abstract The first heme oxygenase-like dimetal oxidase/oxygenase (HDO) was functionally validated through coordinated spectroscopic and rapid kinetic studies of the fatty acid decarboxylase UndA. The enzyme superfamily has since been recognized to orchestrate a variety of substrate transformations for natural product biosynthesis.

Eicosanoids in inflammation in the blood and the vessel
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids in cells. PUFAs regulate cellular function through the formation of derived lipid mediators termed eicosanoids.

Oxygenases as Powerful Weapons in the Microbial Degradation of Pesticides.
Oxygenases, which catalyze the reductive activation of O2 and incorporation of oxygen atoms into substrates, are widely distributed in aerobes. They function by switching the redox states of essential cofactors that include flavin, heme iron, Rieske non ...

Charge Maintenance during Catalysis in Nonheme Iron Oxygenases
Here, the choice of the first coordination shell of the metal center is analyzed from the perspective of charge maintenance in a binary enzyme–substrate complex and an O2-bound ternary complex in the nonheme iron oxygenases.

The 2-oxoglutarate/Fe (II)-dependent (2OG) oxygenase superfamily is mainly responsible for protein modification, nucleic acid repair and/or modification, and fatty acid metabolism and plays important roles in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other ...
