The flavin monooxygenases (FMO) catalyse the NADPH and oxygen-dependent oxidation of a wide range of nucleophilic nitrogen-, sulfur-, phosphorus-, and selenium heteroatom-containing chemicals, drugs, and agricultural agents. In the present study, sheep liver microsomal FMO activity was determined by measuring the S-oxidation rate of methimazole and the average specific activity obtained from different microsomal preparations was found to be 3.8 +/- 1.5 nmol methimazole oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) microsomal protein (mean +/- SE, n = 7). The presence of 0.1% Triton X-100 in the reaction mixture caused an increase of specific sheep liver microsomal FMO activity towards methimazole to 6.1 +/- 1.4 nmol methimazole oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) microsomal protein (mean SE, n = 6). Metabolism of imipramine and chlorpromazine was measured by following the oxidation of cofactor NADPH spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. Sheep liver microsomal FMO activity towards imipramine and chlorpromazine was found to be 10.7 and 12.3 nmol NADPH oxidized min(-1) mg(-1) microsomal protein, respectively. Characterization of sheep liver enzyme was carried out using methimazole as substrate and the maximum FMO enzyme activity was detected at 37 degrees C and at pH 8.0. The apparent K. value of sheep liver microsomal FMO for methimazole was 0.118 mm. Effects of the detergents Triton X-100, Cholate, and Emulgen 913, on FMO activity were determined and FMO activity was found to increase with the addition of detergents to the reaction medium. Sheep liver microsomal FMO-catalysed methimazole oxidation was inhibited by imipramine and chlorpromazine when these drugs were used at high concentrations. Western blot-immunochemical analysis revealed the presence of FMO3 in sheep liver microsomes. Copyright (c) 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Isolation and immunological characterization of theta class glutathione-s-transferase gstt2-2 from bovine liver İşgör, Sultan Belgin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2004) The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) (EC.2.5.1.18) are enzymes that participate in cellular detoxification of endogenous as well as foreign electrophilic compounds, function in the cellular detoxification systems and are evolved to protect cells against reactive oxygen metabolites by conjugating the reactive molecules to the nucleophile scavenging tripeptide glutathione (GSH, ?-glu-cys-gly). The GSTs are found in all eukaryotes and prokaryotic systems, in the cytoplasm, on the microsomes, and in the mitoch...
Purification of glutathione S-transferases and genetic characterization of Zeta isozyme from Pinus brutia, Ten Öztetik, Elif; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biochemistry (2005) Glutathione S-transferases (GST, EC2.5.1.18) are a family of multifunctional, dimeric enzymes that catalyse the nucleophilic attack of the tripeptide glutathione (?-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-L-glycine) on lipophilic compounds with electrophilic centres. The primary function of GSTs is generally considered to be the detoxification of both endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Cytosolic GSTs have been grouped into eleven distinct classes as: (A); Alpha, (M); Mu, (P); Pi, (S); Sigma, (T); Theta, (Z); Zeta, (F); Ph...
PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 2 FORMS OF SOLUBLE NADH CYTOCHROME-B5 REDUCTASES FROM HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES ARINC, E; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; SAPLAKOGLU, U; Adalı, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01) 1. Two forms of soluble NADH cytochrome b5 reductase were purified from human erythrocytes. Two distinct fractions both having the NADH cytochrome b5 reductase activity eluted from the second DEAE-cellulose column were further purified by ultrafiltration and 5'-ADP-agarose affinity chromatography.
KINETIC-PROPERTIES OF PURIFIED SHEEP LUNG MICROSOMAL NADH-CYTOCHROME B5 REDUCTASE Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) 1. Lung NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase was saturated with its artificial substrate, potassium ferricyanide at approximately 0.1 mM ferricyanide concentration, and the activity of the lung enzyme was inhibited by the higher concentrations of potassium ferricyanide. Ferricyanide at 0.5 and 1.0 mM inhibited the activity of the enzyme by about 20 and 61% respectively. The apparent K(m) value was calculated as 13.7-mu-M potassium ferricyanide and 4.3-mu-M NADH.
Interactions of cholesterol reducing agent simvastatin with phospholipid model membranes Koçak, Mustafa; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biochemistry (2007) Interactions of simvastatin with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphotidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes were investigated as a function of temperature and simvastatin concentration. And acyl chain length effect on the simvastatin-model membrane interactions was monitored with DPPC and dimyristoyl phosphotidylcholine (DMPC) lipids. All studies were carried out by two non-invasive techniques, namely Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results s...
