  1. 1. Redox Reactions of NO and O2 in Iron Enzymes : A Density Functional Theory Study

    Författare :Mattias Blomberg; Per Siegbahn; Adrian Mulholland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme catalysis; redox reactions; cytochrome oxidase; nitric oxide reductase; hyponitrous acid anhydride; peroxynitrite; myoglobin; prostaglandin synthase; PGHS; NO; N2O; O2; CO; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the density functional B3LYP has been used to study reactions of NO and O2 in redox active enzymes.Reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important part in the bacterial energy conservation (denitrification). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Catalytic and Structural Properties of Heme-containing Fatty Acid Dioxygenases : Similarities of Fungal Dioxygenases and Cyclooxygenases

    Författare :Ulrike Garscha; Ernst Oliw; Per-Johan Jakobsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dioxygenase; prostaglandin H synthase; Gaeumannomyces graminis; Aspergilli; hydroperoxide isomerase; linoleate diol synthase; cytochrome P450; oxylipin; Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology;

    Sammanfattning : 7,8-Linoleate diol synthase (7,8-LDS) of the take-all pathogen of wheat, Gaeumannomyces graminis, converts linoleic acid to 8R-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (8-HPODE) by 8-dioxygenase activity (8-DOX), and further isomerizes the hydroperoxide to 7S,8S-dihydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (7,8-DiHODE) by hydroperoxide isomerase activity. Sequence alignment showed homology to prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS), and both enzymes share structural and catalytic properties. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Characterization of human glutathione-dependent microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1

    Författare :Staffan Thorén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandins (PGs) are lipid mediators, which act as local hormones. PGs are formed in most calls and are synthesized de novo from membrane-released arachidonic acid (AA) upon cell activation. LÄS MER
