cytisus scoparius/peroxidase

New plant peroxidase has been isolated to homogeneity from the white Spanish broom Cytisus multiflorus. The enzyme purification steps included homogenization, NH(4)SO(4) precipitation, extraction of broom colored compounds and consecutive chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose, HiTrap™ SP HP and

Suicide inactivation is a common mechanism observed for haem peroxidases, in which the enzyme is inactivated as a result of self-oxidation mediated by intermediate highly oxidizing enzyme forms during the catalytic cycle. The time-dependence and the inactivation mechanism of Cytisus multiflorus

In plants, adverse conditions often induce an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 is reduced to water, and thus becomes detoxified by enzymes such as Cytisus multiflorus peroxidase (CMP). Here, the steady-state kinetics of the H2O2-supported oxidation of

We developed an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the measurement of Asn302-linked carbohydrate in urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) using peroxidase (HRP)-labelled lectins. u-PA antigen in the sample was immunologically bound to microtitre plate wells by anti-u-PA IgG and the binding of

The study was aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity of Cytisus scoparius L. (Family: Leguminosae) on CCl(4) (carbon tetrachloride) treated oxidative stress in Wistar albino rats. CCl(4) injection induced oxidative stress by a significant rise in serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminases
