Peroxidase and Senescence

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1979
Kinetin and a,a'-dipyridyl prevented the rapid decrease of chlorophyll content in detached oat leaves senescing in the dark. In the light, detachment caused a 27-40% rise in peroxidase activity and kinetin enhanced the enzyme in the segments by about 80%.

Structural properties of peroxidases

Journal of Biotechnology, 1997
Peroxidases are heme proteins which are able to catalyze the oxidation of a large variety of substrates through the reaction with hydrogen peroxide. The specific biological function, the reduction potential of the iron and the nature of the substrates which can be oxidized, are strongly determined by the structural features of the protein matrix around

Effect of aluminium on lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities in root tips of soybean (Glycine max)

, 1991
Inhibition of root elongation and modification of membrane properties are sensitive responses of plants to aluminium. The present paper reports on the effect of AI on lipid peroxidation and activities of enzymes related to production of activated oxygen ...

Multiheme Peroxidases

2015
Bacterial diheme peroxidases (bCCP) act in the detoxification of reactive oxygen species by reduction of peroxide to water. The substrate H2O2 is bound to the free axial position of a heme cofactor, and in a first step, one H2O molecule is released, while the remaining oxygen is stabilized as a metastable FeivO intermediate that awaits further ...

Deciphering a nanocarbon-based artificial peroxidase: chemical identification of the catalytically active and substrate-binding sites on graphene quantum dots.

Angewandte Chemie, 2015
The design and construction of efficient artificial enzymes is highly desirable. Recent studies have demonstrated that a series of carbon nanomaterials possess intrinsic peroxidase activity.

Oxidation states of peroxidase

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1973
Five oxidation states of horseradish peroxidase, ferrous, ferric, Compounds I and II, oxy-ferrous, are known. Various reactions and plausible structures of these states are reported. Mechanisms of peroxidase-oxidase reactions are discussed in terms of the five oxidation states of the enzyme.

Kinetics of glutathione peroxidase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1969
Abstract The dependency of the reaction rate of purified glutathione peroxidase (GSH: H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.9) on the concentration of the substrates is investigated employing methods by which the substrates involved are determined immediately. GSH is measured polarographically. H2O2 is estimated by enzymatic oxidation of the fluorescent dye

Thiols as peroxidase substrates

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1993
The abilities of haem peroxidases to catalyse the oxidation of various thiols were studied using the spin-trapping electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. Myeloperoxidase, a neutrophil and monocyte enzyme, catalysed the oxidation of cysteamine, cysteine methyl, and ethyl ester and to some extent 2-mercaptoethanol and thioglycollic acid.

Stereospecificity of horseradish peroxidase

Biological Chemistry, 2004
We report here on the stereospecificity observed in the action of horseradish peroxidase (HRPC) on monophenol and diphenol substrates. Several enantiomers of monophenols and o-diphenols were assayed: L-tyrosinol, D-tyrosinol, L-tyrosine, DL-tyrosine, D-tyrosine, L-dopa, DL-dopa, D-dopa, L-alpha-methyldopa, DL-alpha-methyldopa, DL-adrenaline, D ...
