Abstract:
The initial-rate kinetics of the flavin reductase reaction catalysed by biliverdin-IXβ reductase at pH 7.5 are consistent with a rapid-equilibrium ordered mechanism, with the pyridine nucleotide binding first. NADPH binding to the free enzyme was characterized using stopped-flow fluorescence quenching, and a Kd of 15.8 μM was calculated. Equilibrium fluorescence quenching experiments indicated a Kd of 0.55 μM, suggesting that an enzyme-NADPH encounter complex (Kd 15.8 μM) isomerizes to a more stable ‘nucleotide-induced’ conformation. The enzyme was shown to catalyse the reduction of FMN, FAD a

Abstract:
Using highly purified enzyme preparations throughout, initial kinetic studies demonstrated that the isoenzymic 2,5- and 3,6-diketocamphane mono-oxygenases from Pseudomonas putida ATCC 17453 and the LuxAB luciferase from Vibrio fischeri ATCC 7744 exhibit commonality in being FMN-dependent two-component monooxygenases that promote redox coupling by the transfer of flavin reductase-generated FMNH2 by rapid free diffusion. Subsequent studies confirmed the comprehensive inter-species compatibility of both native and non-native flavin reductases with each of the tested monooxygenases. For all three

Subject and Purpose. The elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of action of biomolecules is necessary for the development of state-of-the-art means of diagnosing and treatment. Dielectric studies in the millimeter wave range are effective for puzzling out the nature of the interaction of biomolecules with a surrounding aqueous solvent. Flavin mononucleotide (FMN), which can kill microorganisms and destroy cancer cells, is of particular interest. The aim of the work is to recognize hydration effects (changes in the state of water molecules) in FMN solutions. Methods and Methodology. The compl

Abstract:
A comparison of the kinetic and other parameters of enzymes of flavin-nucleotide metabolism in the whole foetus vis-à-vis the maternal liver in the pregnant rat revealed relatively lower activities of foetal flavokinase and FAD pyrophosphorylase. Passive immunoneutralization of the maternal riboflavin carrier protein suppresses foetal FAD pyrophosphorylase rather selectively. Additionally, although the activities of foetal nucleotide pyrophosphatase and FMN phosphatase were unchanged owing to immunoneutralization, higher activities of these enzymes in the whole foetus as compared with the mate

Abstract:
Previous control studies carried out in children showed that respiratory infection alters riboflavin metabolism and leads to excessive urinary losses of the vitamin. In order to understand the nature of biochemical changes in riboflavin metabolism during respiratory infection, a study was carried out using the mouse as the experimental model, andKlebsiella pneumonjueas the infective organism. Mice were fed on either a low(0·5 mg/kg)- or high(13·3 mg/kg)-riboflavin semi-synthetic diet. Infection resulted in a 5–6-fold higher excretion of riboflavin in the urine of mice fed on the low-riboflavin

ABSTRACT Bacterial populations produce a small number of persister cells that exhibit multidrug tolerance. Persister cells are largely responsible for the antibiotic recalcitrance of biofilm infections. The mechanism of persister cell formation largely remains unknown due to the challenges in identifying persister genes. We screened an ordered comprehensive library of 3,985 Escherichia coli knockout strains to identify mutants with altered antibiotic tolerance. Stationary-state cultures in 96-well plates were exposed to ofloxacin at a concentration which allows only tolerant persister cells to

Abstract:
The nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) are dimeric flavocytochromes consisting of an oxygenase domain with cytochrome P450-like Cys-ligated haem, coupled to a diflavin reductase domain, which is related to cytochrome P450 reductase. The NOSs catalyse the sequential mono-oxygenation of arginine to N-hydroxyarginine and then to citrulline and NO. The constitutive NOS isoforms (cNOSs) are regulated by calmodulin (CaM), which binds at elevated concentrations of free Ca2+, whereas the inducible isoform binds CaM irreversibly.

Abstract:
Considerable evidence suggests that the release of iron from ferritin is a reductive process. A role in this process has been proposed for two hepatic enzymes, namely xanthine oxidoreductase and an NADH oxidoreductase. The abilities of xanthine and NADH to serve as a source of reducing power for the enzyme-mediated release of ferritin iron (ferrireductase activity) were compared with turkey liver and rat liver homogenates. The maximal velocity (Vmax.) for the reaction with NADH was 50 times greater than with xanthine; however, the substrate concentration required to achieve half-maximal veloci

Since all animals are auxotrophic for riboflavin (vitamin B2), schistosomes too must import it to survive. Riboflavin is an essential component of the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD); these support key functions of dozens of flavoenzymes.
