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.

Evidence for New Light-Independent Pathways for Generation of the Endogenous Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Agonist FICZ.

TL;DR: A general molecular mechanism involving dehydrogenations and oxidative coupling for the formation of FICZ in which I3A is the important precursor is presented, suggesting that FicZ is likely to be formed systemically.

Oxygen dependence of mitochondrial function in isolated rat cardiac myocytes.

TL;DR: Results indicate that mitochondrial respiration results in establishment of a gradient of O2 concentration from the suspending medium to the mitochondrial inner membrane, and the intracellular O2 gradient is an important factor in determining the O2 dependence of mitochondria in cells and hence may contribute to the O1 dependence of cardiac myocyte function in vivo.

Purification and some properties of cytochrome P-450 specific for steroid 17α-hydroxylation and C17C20 bond cleavage from guinea pig adrenal microsomes

TL;DR: A novel species of cytochrome P-450 was purified to a specific content of 15 nmol/mg of protein from guinea pig adrenal microsomes and exhibited a single polypeptide band when submitted to a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Azole-antifungal binding to a novel cytochrome P450 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis: implications for treatment of tuberculosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of several azole compounds on the growth of M. tuberculosis were examined and it was shown that the metabolic functions of MT CYP51 may be comparable to those of CYP 51 in yeast and fungi and may lead to the development of new generation of anti-mycobacterial agents.

In vitro biotransformation of xanthohumol, a flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus), by rat liver microsomes.

TL;DR: This work investigated the biotransformation of XN by rat liver microsomes and tentatively identified three major polar microsomal metabolites and a nonpolar XN metabolite, identified as dehydrocycloxanthohumol.

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).
