Enzymatic and Non-enzymatic Pathways to Formation of Dopa-modified Peg Hydrogels
Introduction Marine mussels are known to secrete unique adhesive proteins that form strong bonds with various substrates in the presence of water.1 These mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) are secreted as fluids and can undergo rapid curing to form adhesive plaques in a wet environment. The presence of the unusual amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in MAPs is believed to impart strong ad...
متن کاملEnzymatic cycling assay for phenylpyruvate.
Enzymatic cycling assays for the determination of L-phenylalanine and phenylpyruvate in deproteinized tissue extracts are described. Assay 1 couples glutamine transaminase K with L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase. Assay 2 combines phenylalanine dehydrogenase, L-amino acid oxidase, and catalase. In both assays, tyrosine and some other amino acids (or their alpha-keto acid analogs) can replace phenyl...
متن کاملenzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense with alzheimer disease1
the etiopathogenesis of alzheimer's disease (ad) is still unclear. however, long-term oxidative stress is believed to be one of the major contributing factors in progression of neuronal degeneration and decline of cognitive function in ad. in order to assess the presence of oxidative stress in ad, we examined the enzymatic activities of the erythrocyte cu-zn superoxide dismutase (cu-zn sod), g...
متن کاملChanges in Total Phenol and Some Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Antioxidant Activities of Rose-scented Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) in Response to Exogenous Ascorbic Acid and Iron Nutrition
Strong antioxidant activity of Pelargonium graveolens is well known. The question addressed in this study was whether different concentrations of exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) and iron (Fe) were able to influence antioxidant activity and total phenol content (TPC) of geranium. Thus, three levels of Fe (0, 20 and 40 µM) and three levels of AsA (0, 1 and 2 mM) in nutrient solution were c...
متن کاملEnzymatic formation of acetylgalactosamine.
Several papers have been published on the biosynthesis of glucosamine in different organisms (l-3), but the reactions which lead to the synthesis of galactosamine have hardly been explored. The first indication of its mode of synthesis came from the isolation of uridine diphosphate’ acetylgalactosamine from liver by Pontis (4). This finding showed that the transformation of acetylhexosamines is...
