Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 has been historically associated with the process of vascular remodeling through the cleavage of extracellular matrix proteins. However, we recently found that MMP-2 also cleaves the endothelium-derived peptide big endothelin-1, ET-1[1-38] and yields the novel vasoconstrictor ET-1[1-32].

We describe an improved Taylor dispersion method for four-component systems, which we apply to measure the main- and cross-diffusion coefficients in an Aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsion loaded with one of the reactants of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, water(1)/AOT(2)/R(3)/octane(4) system, where

Glutathione reductase (GR) carries out the enzymatic reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to its reduced form (GSH) at the expense of the reducing power of NADPH. Previous studies have shown that GR from several species is progressively inactivated in the

In the present mechanistic schemes of the ferroin-catalyzed oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction the oxidation of the organic substrates (bromomalonic or malonic acid) by ferriin (the oxidized form of the catalyst) plays an important role. As the organic products of these

This paper describes a simple and highly selective method for separation, preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of mercury. The method is based on the flotation of an ion-associate of HgI4(2-) and ferroin between aqueous and n-heptane interface at
