Abstract

UV-visible spectroscopy, electrode oximetry, and pH stat were used to study Fe(II) oxidation and hydrolysis in horse spleen ferritin (HoSF) and recombinant human H-chain and L-chain ferritins (HuHF and HuLF). Appropriate test reactions and electrode responses were measured, establishing the reliability of oxygen electrode/pH stat for kinetics studies of iron uptake by ferritin. Stoichiometric ratios, Fe(II)/O2 and H+/Fe(II), and rates of oxygen uptake and proton production were simultaneously measured as a function of iron loading of the protein. The data show a clear distinction between the diiron ferroxidase site and mineral surface catalyzed oxidation of Fe(II). The oxidation/hydrolysis reaction attributed to the ferroxidase site has been determined for the first time and is given by 2Fe2+ + O2 + 3H2O --> [Fe2O(OH)2]2+ + H2O2 + 2H+ where [Fe2O(OH)2]2+ represents the hydrolyzed dinuclear iron(III) center postulated to be a mu-oxo-bridged species from UV spectrometric titration data and absorption band maxima. The transfer of iron from the ferroxidase site to the mineral core has been now established to be [Fe2O(OH)2]2+ + H2O --> 2FeOOH(core) + 2H+. Regeneration of protein ferroxidase activity with time is observed for both Ho...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
