Antioxidative effect of ubiquinones on mitochondrial membranes.
Peroxidation of mitochondria occurs extensively in ubiquinone-depleted membranes. Reincorporation into the membranes of either the physiological ubiquinone or a short-chain homologue protects mitochondria against peroxidation. The ability to prevent this phenomenon is more evident in mitochondria that have incorporated ubiquinone-3 and might be ascribed to an ordering structural effect on the l...
متن کاملDirect Electrochemistry of Polyphenol Oxidase
The electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is presented. Cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). A redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. The influence of various parameters such as pH,...
متن کاملElectrochemistry.
F or this special issue of PNAS, it seems appropriate to begin with a brief commentary on the path(s) leading to where the discipline of electrochemistry is today. The papers in this issue serve as a sampling of the current themes and directions; we thank the authors for their contributions. We should also point to a nice collection of historical perspectives gathered together by Leddy et al. (...
متن کاملThe specificity of mitochondrial complex I for ubiquinones.
We report the first detailed study on the ubiquinone (coenzyme Q; abbreviated to Q) analogue specificity of mitochondrial complex I, NADH:Q reductase, in intact submitochondrial particles. The enzymic function of complex I has been investigated using a series of analogues of Q as electron acceptor substrates for both electron transport activity and the associated generation of membrane potentia...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of tissue tocopherols, tocotrienols, ubiquinols, and ubiquinones.
A tissue-specific distribution of the various vitamin E forms, tocotrienols and tocopherols, has been found, suggesting that these forms have unique roles in cellular functions. A sensitive procedure is described for the simultaneous determination of individual tocopherols, tocotrienols, ubiquinols, and ubiquinones using gradient high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrochemical de...
