Species-level variability in extracellular production rates of reactive oxygen species by diatoms

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2016
Biological production and decay of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide (O2-) likely have significant effects on the cycling of trace metals and carbon in marine systems. In this study, extracellular production rates

Superoxide dismutase nanozymes: an emerging star for anti-oxidation.

open access: yesJournal of materials chemistry. B, 2021
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are a group of metalloenzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals (O2˙-) into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2). As the first line of defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage, SODs

Fluorescent monitoring of copper-occupancy in His-ended catalytic oligo-peptides

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Controlled generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is widely beneficial to various medical, environmental, and agricultural studies. As inspired by the functional motifs in natural proteins, our group has been engaged in development of catalytically ...

Potential Modulation of Vascular Function by Nitric Oxide and Reactive Oxygen Species Released From Erythrocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The primary role for erythrocytes is oxygen transport that requires the reversible binding of oxygen to hemoglobin. There are, however, secondary reactions whereby the erythrocyte can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO). ROS such

Arginase: the emerging therapeutic target for vascular oxidative stress and inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
Oxidative stress and inflammation in the vascular wall are essential mechanisms of atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunctions associated with risk factors such as metabolic diseases, aging, hypertension, etc.

Mechanisms of oxidative stress in human aortic aneurysms — association with clinical risk factors for atherosclerosis and disease severity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Aortic abdominal aneurysms (AAA) are important causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress may link multiple mechanisms of AAA including vascular inflammation and increased metalloproteinase activity.

Structural Evidence for a Copper-Bound Carbonate Intermediate in the Peroxidase and Dismutase Activities of Superoxide Dismutase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is of fundamental importance to our understanding of oxidative damage. Its primary function is catalysing the dismutation of superoxide to O2 and H2O2. SOD also reacts with H2O2, leading to the formation of a strong
