Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amine Oxidases in Clinical Research discusses the functions of amine oxidases in the rapid development of medical and biological research. Composed of 13 chapters, the book focuses on amine oxidases, including their key role in the metabolism of biogenic amines and other nitrogenous compounds in diseases and human health. The book considers primarily the enzymes denoted as EC 1.4.3.4 (flavin amine oxidases or monoamine oxidases) and EC 1.4.3.6 (copper-containing amine oxidase or diamine oxidases). To measure the estimates of amine oxidase activity, several methods and a number of requirements are presented. A description of the distribution and intracellular localization of amine oxidase follows. The methods of isolation and purification of amine oxides from different sources and the results of these various methods are explained. The text also considers the properties of the purified amine oxidases: the different methods of isolation and purification; storage conditions; and analytical techniques. Care is given when examining amine oxidases, because these may exhibit considerable differences in substrate specificity even if their physicochemical properties are similar. Inhibition of amine oxidase activity by unspecific and specific inhibitions is further discussed, including the biological functions and known effects of hormones on the biosynthesis and catabolism of the amine oxidase. Finally, the possible pathogenetic and/or diagnostic significance of the amine oxidases, as well as the corrective approaches seen in pathological conditions and in clinical medicine, are explained. Written as a handbook for the medically oriented investigators, biologists, and medical and chemical researchers, this book will prove a handy reference.

Download or read book Probing the Active Site of Amine Oxidase with Electron Tunneling Wires written by Corinna R. Hess and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amine oxidases (AO) are copper-containing enzymes that catalyze the conversion of amines to aldehydes. The active site is deeply buried within the protein network, a factor which has precluded many investigations into the mechanism. A series of electron tunneling molecular wires has been synthesized, designed to access the cofactors of amine oxidase by means of the substrate channel. These wires are comprised of phenyl-ethynyl units and thus promote rapid rates of electron transfer to the active site. An amine group attached to one end of the oligomer serves as the channel-specific functionality, which binds within the channel. Binding of the oligomers to AO was demonstrated through inhibition and fluorescence quenching studies. A variety of reporter groups has been attached to the chain end opposite the amine group, allowing us to probe the enzyme using a variety of techniques. A Re terminated complex was designed for electron transfer studies with the enzyme. The photophysics of this complex were investigated in the presence of AO. A thiol terminated wire also has been synthesized, which was employed in electrochemical studies of the amine oxidase cofactors. These studies provide evidence for the ability to communicate with the active site using the molecular wires. In addition, these complexes fulfilled our primary goal and enabled us to determine a redox potential of the TPQ cofactor.
Download or read book Biocatalysis for Practitioners written by Gonzalo de Gonzalo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book originates from the interdisciplinary research cooperation between academia and industry. In three distinct parts, latest results from basic research on stable enzymes are explained and brought into context with possible industrial applications. Downstream processing technology as well as biocatalytic and biotechnological production processes from global players display the enormous potential of biocatalysts. Application of "extreme" reaction conditions (i.e. unconventional, such as high temperature, pressure, and pH value) - biocatalysts are normally used within a well defined process window - leads to novel synthetic effects. Both novel enzyme systems and the synthetic routes in which they can be applied are made accessible to the reader. In addition, the complementary innovative process technology under unconventional conditions is highlighted by latest examples from biotech industry.

Download or read book Amine Oxidases and Their Impact on Neurobiology written by Peter Riederer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amine Oxidase Workshop was the brain child of Brian Callingham and Keith Tipton. The present book is the proceedings of the fourth in the series and in the past we have dedicated our meeting to individuals who have made significant fundamental contributions to the biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology of this interesting group of enzymes. The present meeting is not an exception because we have gathered here in Wtirzburg to honour an individual whose outstanding work on the autonomic pharmacology has span ned more than 30 years and whose contribution has made a vast impact in our understanding of the kinetic relationship between amine metabolism (that uptake and enzymatic inactivation) and adrenergic neurotransmission. We speak of course of Professor Ullrich Trendelenburg, or Ulli as he likes to be known. Like the amine oxidases, he has a unique place in Pharmacology. Professor Trendelenburg was born on the eve of the new year of 1922 in the city of Rostock in northern Germany, where his father was Professor of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine of Rostock. His father accepted the offer to take over the corresponding chair in Freiburg im Breisgrau (in Southern Germany). As the youngest of four children, Ulli grew up mainly in the garden of the department, in the animal quarters and in the workshop. Of the various coworkers of his father, one he liked especially was Otto Krayer, the young pharmacologist.
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
Download or read book Catalytic Aerobic Oxidations written by Esteban Mejía and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidation reactions are an important chemical transformation in both academia and industry. Among the major advances in the field has been the development of catalytic processes, which are not only selective and efficient, but also allow the replacement of common stoichiometric oxidants with molecular oxygen, ideally from air at atmospheric pressure. This results in processes with higher atom efficiency, where water is the only side product in line with the principles of green chemistry. Focusing on the use of molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant, this book covers recent advances in both heterogeneous and homogeneous systems, with and without metals and on the “taming” of the highly reactive oxygen gas by use of micro-flow reactors and membranes. A useful reference for industrial and academic chemists working on oxidation processes, as well as green chemists.
Download or read book MAO The Mother of all Amine Oxidases written by J. P. M. Finberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is linked to psychiatric and neurological disorders, because inhibitors of the enzyme are used clinically for treatment of affective disorders and Parkinsona (TM)s disease. One of the interesting new aspects of MAO is the occurrence in the human population of deletions of genes coding for one or the other enzyme subtype (A or B). This leads to the possibility of a genetic basis for psychiatric disorders based on MAO. Subjects with deletions of type A or B, and combined deletions, have been described. In the first group of 6 papers in this book, the occurrence and characterization of these phenotypes, as well as the structure of MAO genes, is explored. Advances in the biochemistry of MAO subtypes and their physiological function and localization in brain and periphery is included. Other sections of the book deal with the neuroprotective action of MAO inhibitors and their pharmacology, especially the pharmacology of new MAO-B inhibitors.
