چکیده
DDTC, SOD, Sulfite Oxidation 50 U SOD in 1 ml or 10 m M DDTC do not much change sulfite oxidation due to the free radicals procuding system xanthin-xanthin oxidase. Sulfite oxidation due to the activity of this free radicals producing system proceeds probably as the univalent oxidation o f sulfite. The role o f SOD in SO, resistance mechanism in plants and the role o f DDTC as S 0 2 oxidation effect stimulator is discussed.

The utility of superoxide dismutase in studying free radical reactions. II. The mechanism of the mediation of cytochrome c reduction by a variety of electron carriers.
The superoxide dismutase (dismutase) which has already been found to be useful in detecting the role of O2 ain certain enzymic reactions has here been shown to be applicable to the study of nonenzymic reactions, as well. The aerobic oxidation of sulfite, which proceeds by a free radical chain mechanism, has been investigated with the aid of superoxide dismutase. The “spontaneous” oxidation of s...
متن کامل(Bi)sulfite Oxidation by Copper,Zinc-Superoxide Dismutase: Sulfite-Derived, Radical-Initiated Protein Radical Formation
BACKGROUND Sulfur dioxide, formed during the combustion of fossil fuels, is a major air pollutant near large cities. Its two ionized forms in aqueous solution, sulfite and (bi)sulfite, are widely used as preservatives and antioxidants to prevent food and beverage spoilage. (Bi)sulfite can be oxidized by peroxidases to form the very reactive sulfur trioxide anion radical (*SO(3)-). This free rad...
متن کاملSulfite-induced lipid peroxidation in chloroplasts as determined by ethane production.
Ethane formation, as a measure of lipid peroxidation, was studied in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts exposed to sulfite. Ethane formation required sulfite and light, and occurred with concomitant oxidation of sulfite to sulfate. In the dark, both ethane formation and sulfite oxidation were inhibited. Ethane formation was stimulated by ferric or ferrous ions and inhibited by ethylene...
متن کاملAn Iron-Containing Superoxide Dismutase from the chemolithotrophic Thiobacillus denitrificans ˇ+ RT ˇ; Strain
Superoxide dismutase has been purified to homogeneity from aerobically grown Thiobacillus denitrijicarzs strain “RT”. It has a molecular weight of 43,000, is composed of two identical subunits which are not covalently bound, and contains 1.35 atom of iron per molecule. Absorption spectra and amino acid analysis are similar to those of other Fe-superoxide dismutases from bacteria. Aerobically an...
متن کاملOxidation and reduction of sulfite by chloroplasts and formation of sulfite addition compounds.
After exposing intact chloroplasts isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv Yates) and capable of photoreducing CO(2) at high rates to different concentrations of radioactive sulfite in the light or in the dark, (35)SO(2) and H(2) (35)S were removed from the acidified suspensions in a stream of nitrogen. Remaining activity could be fractionated into sulfate, organic sulfides, and sulfite ...
