Abstract Beneath glycation, oxidation reactions may take place at cereal proteins during production of malt. The extent oxidative chemical changes malt has not yet been studied. In the present short communication, protein was characterized by determination free thiol groups and degree methionine as well sites that are reactive to covalent modification 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH, “protein ...

Abstract NaCl has beneficial effects in preventing fish disease. However, the of regulating growth and survival at different food supply levels under hypoxic conditions are unknown. Herein, on body weight, rate (SR), H 2 O content, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, antioxidant (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT], glutathione peroxidase [GPX]) enzyme activities, (GSH) content we...

OBJECTIVE Among plasma proteins, fibrinogen represents a major target of oxidative modifications. In patients with post-acute myocardial infarction (6 months after the acute event), fibrinogen oxidation-induced carbonyls and fibrinogen function were estimated using in vitro and ex vivo approaches. Fibrinogen structural features and clot architecture were also explored. APPROACH AND RESULTS In...

This review deals with olefin carbonylation catalysed by Pd(II)-phosphine complexes in protic solvents. In particular, the results obtained in the carbonylation with ethene are reviewed. After a short description of the basic concepts relevant to this catalysis, the review treats in greater details the influence of the bite angle, skeletal rigidity, electronic and steric bulk properties of the ...

The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) prevented sepsis-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. As an indirect antioxidant NAC was shown to induce superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in immune cells from endotoxaemic mice. The aim of this study was to assess whether NAC acts as an indirect antioxidant by inducing manganese (Mn)-SOD activity in the diaphragms of endotoxaemic rats, while preventing mu...

Carbonylation is a posttranslational modification (PTM or PTLM), where a carbonyl group is added to lysine (K), proline (P), arginine (R), and threonine (T) residue of a protein molecule. Carbonylation plays an important role in orchestrating various biological processes but it is also associated with many diseases such as diabetes, chronic lung disease, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease...

The use of t-Bu3P as a ligand dramatically improved the generality of the double carbonylation of aryl iodides, and Mo(CO)6 was also found to be effective as a CO source in the system.

Aryl formates are efficient carbon monoxide sources in palladium-catalyzed esterification of aryl halides. The carbonylation readily proceeds at ambient pressure without the use of external carbon monoxide to afford the corresponding esters in high yields.

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) play an important role in the regulation of cardiac function. Increase in ROS/RNS concentration results in lipid and protein oxidation and is often associated with onset and/or progression of many cardiovascular disorders. However, interplay between lipid and protein modifications has not been simultaneously studied in detail so far. Biomolecule ca...
