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...
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...
Activity of Topotecan toward the DNA/Topoisomerase I Complex: A Theoretical Rationalization Bali, Semiha Keyser; Marıon, Antoıne; Ugur, Ilke; Dikmenli, Ayse Kumru; ÇATAK, ŞARON; AVİYENTE, VİKTORYA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-03-06) Topotecan (TPT) is a nontoxic anticancer drug characterized by a pH-dependent lactone/carboxyl equilibrium. TPT acts on the covalently bonded DNA/topoisomerase I (DNA/TopoI) complex by intercalating between two DNA bases at the active site. This turns TopoI into a DNA-damaging agent and inhibits supercoil relaxation. Although only the lactone form of the drug is active and effectively inhibits TopoI, both forms have been co-crystallized at the same location within the DNA/TopoI complex. To gain further insi...
POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT OF MANGANESE IN THE CATALYTIC MECHANISM OF BOVINE LIVER ARGINASE TURKOGLU, S; OZER, I (Elsevier BV, 1992-06-01) 1. Bovine liver arginase followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics in the pH range of 4.5-9.0. The variation of upsilon(i) pH implied that a basic group (pK(alpha) 8.7) functions at the catalytic site.
Investigation for natural extract inhibitors of bovine lens aldose reductase responsible for the formation of diabetis dependent cataract Onay, Melih; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2008) In the polyol pathway, Aldose reductase (AR) is an important enzyme in reduction of aldehydes and aldosugars to their suitable alcohols. AR, using NADPH as a coenzyme, has a molecular weight of 37 000 dalton. AR in its activated form, known to increase the sorbitol accumulation in lens, is responsible for the cataract formation in diabetis diseases. Therefore, the inhibition of aldose reductase is important to prevent the incedence of cataract formation in diabetus mellitus. In the treatment of diabetis dep...
