  • Xanthine Oxidase Assay (XO) Cat
    Xanthine Oxidase Assay (XO) Cat. No. 8458 100 Tests in 96-well plate Introduction Xanthine Oxidase (XO) located predominantly in the liver and intestine in mammalian tissues and catalyzes the hydroxylation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and then to uric acid and hydrogen peroxide. XO activity is normally very low in blood and liver injury can result in the release of XO into blood. XO activity or expression can be up-regulated in gout and cardiovascular disease. This colorimetric assay is based on XO-catalyzed oxidation of xanthine, in which the formed hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by peroxidase and reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine to form the product dye. The color intensity of the reaction product at 550nm is directly proportional to XO activity in the sample. Kit Components Cat.

This product is for research purposes only and not for use in animals, humans, or diagnostic procedures. Quality Control Serially diluted xanthine oxidase solutions with concentrations ranging from 7.81 to 125 mU/mL are measured with the ScienCell™ Xanthine Oxidase Assay kit. The increase in OD550nm is monitored as a function of time (Figure 1) and the resulting standard curve of ∆OD550nm/min vs xanthine oxidase activity are plotted (Figure 2).

The blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and postmortem brain samples of MS patients evidenced the presence of reduction-oxidation (redox) homeostasis disturbance such as the alternations of oxidative and antioxidative enzyme activities and the presence of degradation products. This review article discussed the components of redox homeostasis including reactive chemical species, oxidative enzymes, antioxidative enzymes, and degradation products. The reactive chemical species covered frequently discussed reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, rarely featured reactive chemicals such as sulfur, carbonyls, halogens, selenium, and nucleophilic species that potentially act as reductive as well as pro-oxidative stressors. The antioxidative enzyme systems covered the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) signaling pathway, a possible biomarker sensitive to the initial phase of oxidative stress. Altered components of the redox homeostasis in MS were discussed, some of which turned to be MS subtype- or treatment-specific and thus potentially become diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and/or therapeutic biomarkers.

    36 Batool bdour Ameen Alsaras ... Diala Abu Hassan In the previous lecture we started talking about nucleotides, and in this one we’ll talk about how they’re synthesized from scratch ! I. Purine synthesis: *Purines are bigger, they’re made of two connected rings, which indicates that they require a longer pathway to be synthesized than pyrimidines* ▪ The contributing compounds: i. 3 kinds of Amino acids (aspartic acid, glycine and glutamine) ii. CO2 (from the surrounding decarboxylation reactions) iii. N10–formyltetrahydrofolate *you’re not required to know where each atom came from* The purine ring is constructed primarily in the liver. There are actually two ways to synthesize a nucleotide, either de novo where it’s made from scratch and each atom is added to the ring separately *de novo is the major source of DNA synthesis purines* or Salvaged, where big pieces (like the nitrogenous ring) are priorly synthesized and we just put them together. ▪ The steps of synthesis (de novo): We start with the preformed molecule Ribose-5-phosphate, and the build up is accomplished by the serial addition of donated nitrogens and carbons. Ribose 5-phosphate is synthesized by the pentose phosphate pathway * You’re only required to know the names of the main ones like PRPP, IMP. you’re not required to know the order of the steps * Just don’t forget that the pentagon ring was formed first. 1 | P a g e Step 1: activation of synthesis by the addition of pyrophosphate to R-5-P ▪ Activation of of R-5-P occurs by the addition of a pyrophosphate from an ATP molecule by the following equation ATP= PPi + AMP.

  • The Role of Metals in Enzyme Activity*
    ANNALS OF CLINICAL AND LABORATORY SCIENCE, Vol. 7, No. 2 Copyright © 1977, Institute for Clinical Science The Role of Metals in Enzyme Activity* JAMES F. RIORDAN, Ph.D. Biophysics Research Laboratory, Department of Biological Chemistry, Harvard Medical School, and Division of Medical Biology, Veter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston, MA 02115 ABSTRACT Metal ions play important roles in the biological function of many en­ zymes. The various modes of metal-protein interaction include metal-, ligand-, and enzyme-bridge complexes. Metals can serve as electron donors or acceptors, Lewis acids or structural regulators. Those that participate directly in the catalytic mechanism usually exhibit anomalous physicochemical characteristics reflecting their entatic state. Carboxypep- tidase A, liver alcohol dehydrogenase, aspartate transcarbamoylase and al­ kaline phosphatase exemplify the different roles of metals in metalloen- zymes while the nucleotide polymerases point to the essential role of zinc in maintaining normal growth and development. Introduction At present, reliable measurements of small concentrations of metals present in Certain metals have long been recog­ tissues, cells, subcellular particles, body nized to have important biological func­ fluids and biomacromolecules can be tions primarily as a consequence of nu­ performed by colorimetry, fluorimetry, tritional investigations.14,15,22 Thus, the polarography, emission spectrometry absence of a specific, essential metal with spark, flame or plasma excitation from the diet of an organism
