TLDR
The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Metabolism of nicotine and cotinine by human cytochrome P450 2A13.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human CYP2A13 is indeed an efficient enzyme in catalyzing C-oxidation of nicotine to form cotinine, with the apparent Km and Vmax values of 20.2 μM and 8.7 pmol/min/pmol, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ascorbic acid and drug metabolism.

TL;DR: Phenobarbital induction studies indicated that the microsomal protein-synthesizing system responds to such treatment in vitamin C deficient guinea pigs, and the increase in drug enzyme activities and the level and activity of electron transport components are equal to, if not greater than, those observed in normal animals.

The Purification and Biochemical Characterization of Bovine Liver Nuclear Membranes

TL;DR: In this article, a high salt (0.5 m MgCl2) discontinuous sucrose gradient was used to extract the nuclear pore complexes from bovine liver nuclear membranes.

Chemopreventive effects of Cuminum cyminum in chemically induced forestomach and uterine cervix tumors in murine model systems.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest the cancer chemopreventive potentials of cumin seed could be attributed to its ability to modulate carcinogen metabolism.

Heterogeneity of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450: The spectral characterization of reactants with reduced cytochrome P-450☆

TL;DR: Electron paramagnetic resonance studies, as well as studies with the chemical reductant, sodium dithionite, or the oxidant, potassium ferricyanide, indicate that the spectral complex results from the formation of a product adduct with reduced cytochrome P-450.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes II. SOLUBILIZATION, PURIFICATION, AND PROPERTIES

TL;DR: The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
