M Bakovic et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 271(4), 2048-2056 (1996-01-26)
The reactions of native prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase with structurally different hydroperoxides have been investigated by using kinetic spectrophotometric scan and conventional and sequential mixing stopped-flow experiments. The second order rate constants for compound I formation are (5.9 +/- 0.1) x
PGG2, 11R-HPETE and 15R/S-HPETE are formed from different conformers of arachidonic acid in the prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase-1 cyclooxygenase site.

Formation of electronically excited states during the oxidation of arachidonic acid by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.

Under aerobic conditions, exposure of peroxidized lipids to nitric oxide (NO) was found to result in a rapid decrease in the levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). Addition of 10-100 microM NO to rat brain homogenates preincubated for 2 h
A l Tsai et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 272(14), 8885-8894 (1997-04-04)
Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) is a heme protein that catalyzes both the cyclooxygenase and peroxidase reactions needed to produce prostaglandins G2 and H2 from arachidonic acid. Replacement of the heme group by mangano protoporphyrin IX largely preserves the cyclooxygenase activity
