The reduction of nitrofurantoin by purified liver nitrofurantoin reductase was followed by the production of superoxide radicals, which were detected by the reduction of epinephrine. The conditions for the formation of superoxide radicals were optimized. The maximum superoxide radical formation occurred at approximately 3.5 mu g purified reductase, with optimum pH of 7.8 and at 0.05 mM nitrofurantoin concentration. The K-m and V-max values were calculated as 1.95 x 10(-2) mM and 4.81 nmol superoxide formed per minute. An obliteration of the banding pattern was observed on the agarose gel electrophoresis of sheep liver DNA, which was incubated in the nitrofurantoin-nitrofurantoin reductase system, as a possible consequence of the generation of superoxide radicals during the reduction of nitrofurantoin by nitrofurantoin reductase.

IMMOBILIZATION OF NADH-CYTOCHROME B5 REDUCTASE INTO GELATIN BY CROSS-LINKING
Yıldırım, Onur; Akbulut, Ural (1994-01-01)
In this work NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase enzyme (EC 1.6.2.2) obtained from rabbit liver microsomes was immobilized into gelatin by crosslinking. Chromium (III) acetate and chromium (III) sulfate were used as crosslinkers. To find the most suitable immobilization parameters; effect of crosslinker, enzyme and gelatin concentrations on immobilized enzyme activity were investigated. Unbounded enzyme was determined by washing experiments.
Synthesis of FeTi from mixed oxide precursors
Tan, Serdar; Oers, Taylan; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Öztürk, Tayfur; Karakaya, İshak (2009-05-05)
A study was carried out on the synthesis of FeTi intermetallics from mixed oxide precursors using the method of electro-deoxidation. Fe2O3 and TiO2 mixed in molar proportions of 1:2 were sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 degrees C to 1300 degrees C. The sintered pellet of mixed oxides, connected as cathode, was then electrolyzed in a molten CaCl2 at 900 degrees C using a graphite anode at a potential of 3.2 V. The electrolysis yielded the target composition FeTi in substantial amounts only when the ...
Synthesis of bromo-conduritol-B and bromo-conduritol-C as glycosidase inhibitors
Cantekin, Seda; Baran, Arif; Caliskan, Rasit; Balcı, Metin (2009-03-10)
For the synthesis of bromo-conduritol-B skeleton, bromo-1,4-benzoquinone was subjected to bromination followed by the reduction of the carbonyl groups with NaBH4. Substitution of bromides bonded to sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms with AgOAc gave the bromo-concluritol-B tetraacetate in high yield. For the construction of bromo-conduritol-C skeleton, 2,2-dimethyl-3a,7a-dihydro-1,3-benzodioxole was used as the starting material. Photooxygenation of the diene unit gave an unsaturated bicyclic endoperoxide. Bromin...
Synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched and air drying fatty acid based resins
Bat, Erhan; Kisakurek, D; Akhmedov, IM (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-01)
In this research four hyperbranched resins having fatty acid residues were synthesized. Dipentaerythritol, which was used as the core molecule of the resins, was twice esterified with dimethylol propionic acid. This resin was then esterified with the castor oil fatty acids. The hydroxyl group present in the ricinoleic acid which constitutes almost 87% of the castor oil fatty acids was then reacted with linseed oil fatty acids and benzoic acid. The linseed fatty acids were incorporated into the structure to ...
REGULATION OF M2-TYPE PYRUVATE-KINASE FROM HUMAN MENINGIOMA BY ALLOSTERIC EFFECTORS FRUCTOSE 1,6 DIPHOSPHATE AND L-ALANINE
MELLATI, AA; YUCEL, M; ALTINORS, N; Gündüz, Ufuk (1992-01-01)
In the present study the mechanism of action of M2-type pyruvate kinase from human meningioma in the simultaneous presence of fructose 1,6 diphosphate and L-alanine was investigated. Purified pyruvate kinase from human meningioma was allosterically inhibited by L-alanine with respect to substrates phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP. The inhibitory effects of L-alanine was partially removed by fructose 1,6 diphosphate. The purified enzyme was slightly susceptible to ATP inhibition.
