Allicin: chemistry and biological properties.
Allicin (diallylthiosulfinate) is a defence molecule from garlic (Allium sativum L.) with a broad range of biological activities. Allicin is produced upon tissue damage from the non-proteinogenic amino acid alliin (S-allylcysteine sulfoxide) in a reaction that is catalyzed by the enzyme alliinase. Current understanding of the allicin biosynthetic pathway will be presented in this review. Being ...

متن کاملThejournal of Biological Chemistry
Incorporation of plasma-bound iron into ferritin of liver and spleen of the rat is a dynamic process which accounts for 10% of the iron which normally leaves the plasma. It involves the reaction of adenosine triphosphate and ascorbic acid with iron bound to a &globulin of the plasma, transferrin, and leads to the transfer of this iron to ferritin. Evidence for this mechanism has been obtained f...
