On the Fluorescence Quenching of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Nitromethane
Fluorescence quenching of 22 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by nitromethane in toluene and acetonitrile solutions has been studied. Contrary to Sawicki's observations that the fluorescence of hydrocarbons with the fluoranthene skeleton is not quenched that of 11J2and 3.4-benzofluoranthene and fluoranthene itself is quenched. These compounds have a high energy of the fluorescence transition. T...
متن کاملQuantitative determination of singlet oxygen generated by excited state aromatic amino acids, proteins, and immunoglobulins.
Singlet oxygen quantum yields generated by excited state aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine), N-acetylated amino acids (N-acetyl-tryptophan, N-acetyl-tyrosine, N-acetyl-phenylalanine), and from selected proteins and immunoglobulins have been quantified by time-resolved phosphorescence measurements. A small, but significant, quantum yield found for proteins and immunoglobu...
متن کاملInhibition of D-amino acid oxidase by aromatic acids.
Benzoate competes with n-amino acids for n-amino acid oxidase and thus inhibits the activity of the oxidase (l-3). Monosubstituted benzoates, depending upon the substituent, have higher and lower affinities for the oxidase than has benzoate (2). Kojic acid, a Y-pyrone, likewise competitively inhibits the oxidase (4). The present report describes the inhibition of n-amino acid oxidase by certain...
متن کاملUtilization of Aromatic Amino Acids by Hydrogenomonas Facilis.
DeCicco, B. T. (Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J.), and W. W. Umbreit. Utilization of aromatic amino acids by Hydrogenomonas facilis. J. Bacteriol. 88:1590-1594. 1964.-An auxotrophic mutant of Hydrogenomonas facilis was isolated which requires tryptophan, phenylalanine, and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for growth. With glucose as the main carbon and energy source, the quantitativ...
متن کاملTransport of aromatic amino acids by Brevibacterium linens.
Whole metabolizing Brevibacterium linens cells were used to study the transport of aromatic amino acids. Kinetic results followed the Michaelis-Menten equation with apparent Km values for phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan of 24, 3.5, and 1.8 microM. Transport of these amino acids was optimum at pH 7.5 and 25 degrees C for phenylalanine and pH 8.0 and 35 degrees C for tyrosine and tryptoph...
