A role for nickel-iron cofactors in biological carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide utilization.
Ni-Fe containing enzymes are involved in the biological utilization of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. Interest in these enzymes has increased in recent years due to hydrogen fuel initiatives and concerns over development of new methods for CO2 sequestration. One Ni-Fe enzyme called carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) is a key player in the global carbon cycle and carries out th...
متن کاملBiological signaling by carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide-releasing molecules.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is continuously produced in mammalian cells during the degradation of heme. It is a stable gaseous molecule that reacts selectively with transition metals in a specific redox state, and these characteristics restrict the interaction of CO with defined biological targets that transduce its signaling activity. Because of the high affinity of CO for ferrous heme, these targets...
متن کاملAccumulation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in stored canola.
Production of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) from canola was studied in the laboratory and in commercial storage. Canola rapidly produced amounts of CO and CO(2) far exceeding those reported for dry cereal grain and dried peas and at levels dangerous to human health. In the laboratory, canola (5.8% m.c.) was stored in sealed flasks at 25, 35 and 45 degrees C for 12 weeks. Level...
متن کاملCatalytic Cyclocarbonylation in Compressed Carbon Dioxide: Pressure Influence of Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide
Among the current interests in organic synthesis are those reactions performing multiple C-C bond formation, in special when they undergo under catalytic conditions. Due to its properties, there is a growing interest on the use of compressed fluids (CF) as solvent media in catalytic processes. In this context, we present herein studies that aim to the development of a cleaner technology for the...
متن کاملEnd-tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurements in Unintentional Non-Fire-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...
