Dosing-Time Dependent Effects of Sodium Nitroprusside on Cerebral, Renal, and Hepatic Catalase Activity in Mice [PDF]
, 2015 To investigate the time dependence of sodium nitroprusside- (NPS-) induced oxidative effects, the authors study the variation of the antioxidant enzyme CAT activity in various tissues after the administration of a single 2.5mg/kg dose of SNP or sodium ...

IRA-International Journal of Applied Sciences (ISSN 2455-4499), 2019 Pollution from industrial effluents and anthropogenic sources is becoming a very big ecological problem in Nigeria. A typical example of such pollutants is cyanide which can be degraded to a less toxic compound by some microorganism.

Studies on the Active Site of Rhodanese
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968 Abstract The complete loss of enzymic activity on reaction with alkylating agents, aromatic nitro compounds, or aliphatic mercaptans indicates the importance of sulfhydryl groups for catalysis. Analyses during the course of inactivation with any of these reagents revealed the loss of one of the two —SH groups in the rhodanese monomer when inactivation ...

Genetic diversity of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ strains in Poland
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2015 During 2010-2013, samples from 267 apple trees growing in six regions of Poland were tested for phytoplasma presence. ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma mali’ was detected in 17 samples from phloem tissue of apple shoots showing typical apple proliferation symptoms.

Impact of intestinal microbiota on metabolic toxicity and potential detoxification of amygdalin
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Amygdalin (Amy) is metabolized into cyanide in vivo, which may lead to fatal poisoning after oral administration. The defense mechanisms against toxic cyanide have not yet been adequately studied.

Some Molecular Properties of Rhodanese
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1970 Abstract Fluorescence studies of crystalline bovine liver rhodanese indicate that the reactive sulfhydryl group is in a region which can participate in hydrophobic (apolar) interactions. Fluorescence polarization studies confirm that rhodanese exists in a mobile monomer-dimer equilibrium.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2541-2558, April 2026.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.
