Effects of Iron and Chelating Agents on Dark Carboxylation Reactions in Plant Homogenates.

چکیده
A previous study in this laboratory (12) indicated that leaves and excised roots of bush beans grown under conditions of Fe deficiency fixed larger quantities of C1402 from an enriched atmosphere than did those receiving adequate amounts of Fe. For this reason, studies have been made to determine the effect of Fe and chelating agents on PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) carboxylase (1, 9, 13), PEP carboxykinase (9), and the carboxylation enzyme (17) systems that fix CO2.

The Stabilising and Chelating Effects of Green and Roasted Coffee Extracts
ABSTRACT: Oxidation might be regarded as one of the most important reaction in oils and fats. Prooxidants namely iron and copper intensify and catalyze the oxidation while the chelating agents might retard or delay this process. Citric acid, phosphoric acid, some of phenolic compounds and phospholipids are considered as the compounds that chelate the prooxidant metals and through this mechanism...
متن کاملUsing Iron-Chelating Agents in Critically Ill Patients with Iron Overload. Fact or Fiction?
Recently, some evidence has shown that the failure of iron homeostasis may occur in critically ill patients and can lead to iron overload. Elevated ferritin levels as a body iron burden index in critically ill patients may be associated with depressed level of consciousness and greater mortality. However, the necessity of using iron-chelating agents in clinical situation is still unknown for th...
متن کاملSiderophore and Its Applications in the Field of Bioenvironmental Researches
Iron, one of the essential micronutrients, is needed for electron transport and metabolic processes in almost all living organisms. The ferric form (Fe3+) of iron is insoluble in nature and inaccessible at physiological pH (7.35–7.40). Under iron-limited conditions, metal-chelating agents such as siderophores are synthesized by many bacteria and a few fungi. Siderophores have a high affinity fo...
متن کاملIron release and uptake by plant ferritin: effects of pH, reduction and chelation.
Ferritins are iron-storage proteins that accumulate in plastids during seed formation, and also in leaves during senescence or iron overload. Iron release from ferritins occurs during growth of seedlings and greening of plastids. Depending on the concentration of the reducing agent ascorbate, either an overall iron release or uptake by ferritins from iron(III) citrate may occur. We have designe...
متن کاملA Mini-Review on Iron Chelating Agents as a Promising Therapeutic Target in Treatment of Leishmaniasis
There is a high prevalence of infections caused by Leishmania parasites and increasing rate of drug resistance. Lack of successful treatment with existing drugs calls for new therapeutic approaches. The main strategy in treatment of leishmaniasis is creating apoptosis and eliminating different forms of the parasite. So far, numerous drugs with specific mechanisms including 14-α-demethylase enzy...
