Nanoscale iron particles are sub-micrometer particles of iron metal. [1] Due to their high catalytic activity, low toxicity, and strong adsorption capacity, iron-based nanoparticles are widely utilized in drug delivery, magnetic targeting, gene therapy, and environmental remediation. [2]
In order to describe the relationship between interfacial tension (), concentration of dissociated surfactants/salts in the bulk droplet (C), Temperature (T), the Boltzmann constant (k B), and the concentration of dissociated surfactants/salts at the interface (Γ), the Gibbs adsorption isotherm was created, a simplified section highlighting ...
Active site iron is visible at center in gray. From PDB 1BK0. Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-heme iron protein belonging to the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases oxidoreductase family. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of isopenicillin N from δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (LLD-ACV).
Increasing the substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction (enzyme activity). However, enzyme saturation limits reaction rates. An enzyme is saturated when the active sites of all the molecules are occupied most of the time. At the saturation point, the reaction will not speed up, no matter how much additional substrate is added.
Labelling cells (e.g. stem cells, dendritic cells) with iron oxide nanoparticles is an interesting new tool to monitor such labelled cells in real time by magnetic resonance tomography. [13] [14] Some forms of Iron oxide nanoparticle have been found to be toxic and cause transcriptional reprogramming. [15] [16]
in which e is the concentration of free enzyme (not the total concentration) and x is the concentration of enzyme-substrate complex EA. Conservation of enzyme requires that [28] = where is now the total enzyme concentration. After combining the two expressions some straightforward algebra leads to the following expression for the concentration ...
Histidine was used to modulate iron oxide nanoparticles' peroxidase-mimicking activities. [55] Gold nanoparticles' peroxidase-mimicking activities were modulated via a supramolecular strategy for cascade reactions. [56] A molecular imprinting strategy was developed to improve the selectivity of Fe 3 O 4 nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity. [57]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is Mn(II):hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include peroxidase-M2, and Mn-dependent (NADH-oxidizing) peroxidase. It employs one cofactor, heme. This enzyme needs Ca 2+ for activity. White rot fungi secrete this enzyme to aid lignin degradation.
