Escherichia coli DNA photolyase mediates photorepair of pyrimidine dimers occurring in UV-damaged DNA. The enzyme contains two chromophores, 1,5-dihydroflavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) and 5,10-met...
DNA photolyases catalyze the photocycloreversion of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. The enzyme from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans contains two chromophores, 1,5-dihydroflavin adenine dinucleoti...
FADH2 affected mitochondrial ATPase activity of both F1 and the membrane bound enzyme. F1-ATPase activity increased in its presence, whereas that of the membrane bound enzyme decreased. These effects ...
4-Hydroxyphenylacetate (4HPA) 3-monooxygenase (HpaB) is a reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH(2)) utilizing monooxygenase. Its cosubstrate, FADH(2), is supplied by HpaC, an NAD(P)H-flavin oxidor...
To investigate the flavin utilization by dibenzothiophene monooxygenase (DszC), DszC of a desulfurizing bacterium Mycobacterium goodii X7B was purified from the recombinant Escherichia coli. It was sh...
PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to investigate the hypothesis that catechol inhibits FADH -linked basal respiration in mitochondria isolated from rat liver homogenates. Moreover, catechol ability to...
The methyl carbon of ribothymidine in Loop IV of the tRNA of Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, and some other microorganisms is derived directly from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate, not S-ade...
Kutznerides are actinomycete-derived antifungal nonribosomal hexadepsipeptides which are assembled from five unsual nonproteinogenic amino acids and one hydroxy acid. Conserved in all structurally cha...
