A rapid spectrophotometric assay of mono-amine oxidase based on the rate of disappearance of kynuramine.
Studies in this laboratory (l-3) have dealt with the metabolism of amines derived from tryptophan, such as tryptamine and serotonin. Tryptophan may give rise to additional amines through decarboxylation of kynurenine and 3-hydroxykynurenine. Makino and Arai (4) were the first to suggest this pathway and later showed (5) that m&se liver homogenates convert kynuramine, the decarboxylation product...
متن کاملPlatelet monoamine oxidase and plasma amine oxidase in psychiatric patients.
Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) and plasma amine oxidase (PAO) activities were determined in 70 normal controls and 76 psychiatric patients. Platelet MAO activity did not differ between the normal controls and patients diagnosed as schizophrenic or primary affective illness, although there was a strong trend for chronic schizophrenics to have lower MAO activity. Schizophrenic patients with Sch...
متن کاملI Determination of Plasma Amine Oxidase Activity
N RECENT YEARS clinical medicine has increasingly called upon enzymologists to help solve diagnostic problems. Thus, LaDue et at. (1) and Walsh and collaborators (2), among others, have used the quantitative estimation of serum transaminase activity as a means of differentiating certain cardiac, hepatic, and pulmonary diseases. Other investigators, among them Zimmerman (3), have utilized variat...
متن کاملAn amine/imine functionalized microporous MOF as a new fluorescent probe exhibiting selective sensing of Fe3+ and Al3+ over mixed metal ions
Nowadays metal-organic frameworks with multiple luminescent centers are very fascinating as multifunctional luminescent material because of their luminescence properties, which could be systematically tuned by deliberate use of organic ligands and metal ions. In this research, we explored a microporous mixed-ligand MOF for highly selective and sensitive detection of metal ions. A two-fold inter...
متن کاملInactivation of beef plasma amine oxidase by sulfide.
Sulfide irreversibly inactivates beef plasma amine oxidase in a time-dependent reaction. Mercaptoacetic acid and 2-mercaptoethanol do not inactivate the enzyme. The sulfide complex displayed an intense absorption band at 360 nm (epsilon = 6000 M-1 cm-1, per mol of copper) that is assigned as sigma S leads to Cu(II) ligand to metal charge-transfer transition. However, this band slowly decreased ...
