Tetrahydrobiopterin restores endothelial function in hypercholesterolemia.

TL;DR: Restoration of endothelial dysfunction by tetrahydrobiopterin suppletion in hypercholesterolemic patients is demonstrated and both the attenuated L-mono-methyl-arginine- induced vasoconstriction as well as the impaired serotonin-induced vasodilation were restored in patients during tetrahytochemical infusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

V2O5 Nanowires with an Intrinsic Peroxidase-Like Activity

TL;DR: In this paper, the V2O5 nanowires have been shown to exhibit an intrinsic catalytic activity towards classical peroxidase substrates such as 2,2-azino-bis (ABTS) and 3,3,5,5,-tetramethylbenzdine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles mimic vanadium haloperoxidases and thwart biofilm formation

TL;DR: It is shown that vanadium pentoxide nanowires act like naturally occurring vanadium haloperoxidases to prevent marine biofouling, and have the potential to be an alternative approach to conventional anti-bioFouling agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray structure of a vanadium-containing enzyme : chloroperoxidase from the fungus curvularia inaequalis

TL;DR: In this article, a crystal structure (R = 20%) of an azide chloroperoxidase complex reveals the geometry of the catalytic vanadium center, resulting in a structure with azide, three nonprotein oxygens, and a histidine as ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration by EPR spectroscopy of the functional role of iron in soybean lipoxygenase-1

TL;DR: It is proposed that the enzyme with iron in the ferric state is the active species in the aerobic and anaerobic reaction of soybean lipoxygenase-1.
