When 3,4-dihydroxybenzylcyanide (DBC) is oxidized by mushroom tyrosinase, the first visible product, identified as the corresponding quinomethane, exhibits an absorption maximum at 480 nm. Pulse-radiolysis experiments, in which the o-quinone is formed by disproportionation of semiquinone radicals generated by single-electron

Dopamine beta-hydroxylase was incubated with p-hydroxybenzyl cyanide, ascorbate, and O2 and the products of the hydroxylation reaction were monitored by high performance liquid chromatography. At early times, p-hydroxymandelonitrile was the sole product but this compound slowly decomposed to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and

In the present study analytical and preparative supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were used for investigation of myrosinase catalysed degradation of 4-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate (sinalbin). Sinalbin occurs as a major glucosinolate in seeds of Sinapis alba L., in various mustards and other food

Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.17.1) is inactivated by p-hydroxybenzylcyanide (PHBC) in a manner characteristic of a suicide substrate. The inactivation 1) is first order in inhibitor (Kd = 1.9 mM, k2 = 0.05 min-1, pH 5.0), 2) exhibits saturation kinetics, and

Defined insertion mutations have been constructed in the Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti phbC gene, which encodes poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthase. The locus was isolated and subcloned from a genomic library of R. meliloti Rm1021 by complementation of phbC mutation of Alcaligenes eutrophus.
