Sensitized photo-oxidation of amino acids in proteins: some important biological implications.
نویسنده
چکیده
The sensitized photo-oxidation of amino acids in proteins is a special case of chemical modification, which is used in particular to study buried and exposed groups in proteins. The general principles of the technique and various applications of it are discussed in this article.

Study on Trend of Biodegradability of Phenolic Compounds During Photo-Fenton Advanced Oxidation Process
Phenolic acids constitute a major group of pollutants which are recalcitrant to common biological treatment. In this study synthetic wastewater containing a mixture of p-coumaric and p-hydroxybenzoic acids was evaluated for photo-Fenton pretreatment. The changes in biodegradability (ratio of biochemical oxygen demand to total organic carbon (TOC)) and mineralization (TOC removal) were monitored...
متن کاملThermodynamic-Biochemical Study of Complexes of Intermediate Elements with α-Amino Acids in Some Proteins with Active Site
In this paper, the quantum chemistry calculations related to the structural parameter of the chromite and molybdate anions and the complexes obtained from them with the glycine and alanine amino acids were performed. The calculations were carried out using HF and DFT methods and in the base series 6-31G *. Thermodynamic studies related to the formation of complexes have been considered and thei...
متن کاملDesign, cloning, expression and evaluation of cysteine-substitutes of intact and truncated molecules of streptokinase
Introduction: Thrombosis and the blockage of blood vessels with clots, can lead to acute myocardial infarction and some times even death. Aside from surgical interventions to remove the blockage, the only available treatment is the administration of thrombolytic agents to dissolve the blood clot. Streptokinase (SK) is the most commonly used fibrinolytic drug for this purpose. However, SK...
متن کاملA STUDY OF ULTRASONIC ABSORPTION OF SOME AMINO ACIDS AND THEIR MIXTURES AT PHYSIOLOGICAL pH
In this paper, the ultrasonic absorption of amino acids was measured using a small cylindrical resonator at physiological pH and 25°C and a concentration of 0.1. M. The absorption of mixtures of some amino acids was also measured. In the case of cysteine-histidine, the absorption of mixtures is much larger (more than twice) than the summation of absorption of the individual amino acid. This...
متن کاملMetal-Ion-Coordinating Properties of Various Amino Acids, Investigation of the Essential Function in Biological Systems regarding to their Nano-Structure
The acidity constants of some amino acids (Am) were determined by potentiometric pH titration. The stability constants of the 1:1 complexes formed between M2+: Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ or Zn2+ and Am2-, were determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution (I = 0.1 M, NaNO3, 25°C). The order of the stability constants was reported. It is shown that the stability of the bi...
