Kinetics of the content of nonheme iron-sulphur-containing (iron-sulphur) proteins, free radicals of electron-transport mitochondrial system, as well as of microsome terminal oxidase cytochrome P-450 is studied in the liver of rats at early stages of carcinogenesis and in the process of tumour growth induced by intratracheal administration of various benz(a)pyrene doses. It is found that the content of iron-sulphur proteins increases after the first administration, then it falls against a background of higher concentration of free radicals. A degree of pronounced changes in the content of the studied iron-sulphur proteins correlates with carcinogen dose. The cytochrome P-450 content is lowered for almost the whole period of carcinogen administration. In later periods animals with morphologically determinable pretumour changes exhibit a much higher content of iron-sulphur proteins, somewhat increased concentration of free radicals and a tendency to an increased level of cytochrome P-450. The appearance and growth of malignant tumours is followed by a considerable decrease in the content of iron-sulphur proteins and cytochrome P-450. On the basis of the results obtained it is supposed that the changes in the content of iron-sulphur proteins in the rat liver is the earliest and most pronounced reaction which depends on the benz(a)pyrene dose and may be of prognostic significance. 相似文献

The e.p.r. spectra of reduced 14NO- and 15NO-bound Pseudomonas nitrite reductase have been investigated at pH 5.8 and 8.0 in four buffer systems. At pH 8.0, absorption spectra indicated that only the haem d1 was NO-bound, but, although quantification of the e.p.r. signals in all cases accounted for NO bound the the haem d1 in both subunits of the enzyme, the precise form of the signals varied with buffer and temperature. A rhombic species, with gx = 2.07, gz = 2.01 and gy = 1.96, represented in the low-temperature spectra seen in all the buffers was converted at high temperatures (approx. 200K) into a form showing a reduced anisotropy. Hyperfine splitting on the gz component of this rhombic signal indicated a nitrogen atom trans to NO and it is proposed that histidine provides the endogenous axial ligand for haem d1. At pH 5.8, absorption spectra indicated NO binding to both haems c and d1 and e.p.r. quantifications accounted for NO-bound haems c and d1 in both enzyme subunits. The e.p.r. spectra at pH 5.8 were generally similar to those at pH 8.0 with respect to g-values and hyperfine coupling constants, but were broader with less well defined hyperfine splittings. As at pH 8, rhombic signals present in spectra at low temperatures were converted to less anisotropic forms at high temperatures. The results are discussed in relation to work on model nitrosyl-protohaem complexes [Yoshimura, Ozaki, Shintani & Watanabe (1979) Arch. Biochem, Biophys. 193, 301-313]. No. e.p.r. signal was observed from oxidized NO-bound Pseudomonas nitrite reductase at pH 6.0, over the temperature range 6-100K. 相似文献

A method of measuring the volumetric magnetic susceptibility, in which magnetically labeled cells or other particles are suspended in a paramagnetic solution of known susceptibility over the poles of a magnet, is presented. If the cells are more magnetic than the solution, they are attracted toward the poles; if they are less magnetic, they are repelled. If they have the same susceptibility as the solution, they do not move. Under this condition, the cells are said to be "isomagnetic" with the surrounding solution. Since the volumetric susceptibility of this solution is known, the susceptibility of the cells is obtained. Using the "isomagnetic" method, the volumetric susceptibilities of test metal powders were determined within +/- 8 X 10(-6) SI units. Yeast, colonic carcinoma, and liver cells, rendered magnetic with erbium chloride, had susceptibilities ranging from 13 to 20 X 10(-6). Particles of articular cartilage treated with erbium chloride were heterogeneous, with susceptibilities ranging between 50 and 125 X 10(-6), while particles of bone had a susceptibility of 560 to 580 X 10(-6). Eukaryotic cells labeled with ferritin attained susceptibilities of less than 1 X 10(-6). 相似文献

Genetic distance and electrophoretic identity of proteins between taxa 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Summary The relationship between amino acid substitution and charge change of proteins in the evolutionary process is studied by using a stochastic model. A mathematical formula is developed for the electrophoretic identity of proteins between two different taxa for a given number of average codon differences per protein locus. Using this formula, a reference figure is constructed for estimating the average number of codon differences per locus between taxa. 相似文献

The solid state photoexcitation of several triphenylmethyl-alkyl ketones resulted in the loss of CO and the exclusive formation of radical-radical combination products. Differences in reactivity suggest a stepwise mechanism with the unprecedented formation of primary and secondary radicals in some of the radical pair intermediates in the solid state. 相似文献

Interaction of a spin labeled corticosteroid (desoxycorticosterone nitroxyde: DOC -NO) with three purified proteins (albumin, transcortin, progesterone binding protein: PBG) was studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. DOC-NO was competitive with natural corticosteroids and therefore bound at the same site to specific binding proteins. ESR spectra in the presence of each of the proteins showed an immobilized (bound) form of the spin labeled steroid and allowed the calculation of the corresponding association constant (Ka) at equilibrium. The three binding proteins could be characterized by the ESR parameters of the DOC-NO bound form. The thermodynamic parameters (deltaH, deltaS) of the steroid-protein interactions were calculated from the ESR data obtained within a wide temperature range (3--40 degrees C). The ESR spectra width (2T) was used to evaluate the polarity of the spin label environment within the steroid binding site: a hydrophobic character was observed for transcortin whereas PBG exhibited a more hydrophilic steroid binding sits. The rotational correlation time of the three protein DOC-NO complexes at equilibrium were calculated from ESR data; the results were correlated with the protein molecular size and suggested a non spherical shape for the binding macromolecule in solution. Spin labelling of biologically active steroids thus provides a novel approach for the study of the interaction of these hormones with their binding protein. Providing a suitable spin label, the ESR parameters may allow the characterization of several types of binding sites of different biological significance for the same hormone, in biological fluids as well as in target tissues. 相似文献

The photochemical behavior of nitrosyl complexes Ru(salen)(NO)(OH2)+ and Ru(salen)(NO)Cl (salen = N,N′-ethylenebis-(salicylideneiminato) dianion) in aqueous solution is described. Irradiation with light in the 350-450 nm range resulted in nitric oxide (NO) release from both. For Ru(salen)(NO)Cl secondary photoreactions also resulted in chloride aquation. Thus, in both cases the final photoproduct is the diaquo cation , for which pKa’s of 5.9 and 9.1 were determined for the coordinated waters. The pKa of the Ru(salen)(NO)(OH2)+ cation was also determined as 4.5 ± 0.1, and the relative acidities of these ruthenium aquo units are discussed in the context of the bonding interactions between Ru(III) and NO. 相似文献

Whether there is a nitrosyl hemoglobin (HbNO) gradient between the venous and the arterial parts of the circulatory system is a very controversial issue in nitric oxide research. We have carefully evaluated the measurement of HbNO concentration in blood using EPR generated in vivo by the NO donor DEANO under various oxygen tensions. We found that the absolute concentrations of HbNO in venous and arterial blood were the same within experimental error, independent of hemoglobin saturation; only the ratios of 5-coordinate and 6-coordinate HbNO differed. The HbNO concentration increased when the oxygen concentration breathed by the rats decreased in a manner that was linear in hemoglobin saturation. These results do not support the existence of an arterial-venous gradient of HbNO under our experimental conditions. 相似文献

The X-ray powder diffractograms of racemic citalopram oxalate and (S)-citalopram oxalate are very similar, but the melting point of the racemate is higher than that of the pure enantiomer. The higher melting point indicates that the racemate is a racemic compound, rather than a conglomerate. The crystal structure of the enantiomer contains two molecules of (S)-citalopram in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of the two molecules is different but they approximate mirror images of each other if the aromatic groups are interchanged. The crystal structure of the racemate is essentially isostructural with that of the enantiomer, having almost the same cell parameters but containing a crystallographic inversion centre that is not retained in the enantiomer structure. The closely-comparable crystal structures permit solid solutions to be formed between racemic and enantiomeric citalopram oxalate. Phase diagrams of the (R)-citalopram and (S)-citalopram oxalate system are constructed, and they show that solid solutions are formed at all ratios of the two enantiomers. 相似文献
