Role of arg-410 and tyr-411 in human serum albumin for ligand binding and esterase-like activity.
Recombinant wild-type human serum albumin (rHSA), the single-residue mutants R410A, Y411A, Y411S and Y411F and the double mutant R410A/Y411A were produced using a yeast expression system. The… Expand

Purification and Characterization of L-2,3-Butanediol Dehydrogenase of Brevibacterium saccharolyticum C-1012 Expressed in Escherichia coli
The L-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase produced in E. coli JM109/pLBD2-CTC was purified by 5 steps. The molecular mass of this enzyme was estimated at 110 kDa and the subunit was mesured to be 30 kDa.… Expand

Nitrosothiol Formation Catalyzed by Ceruloplasmin
Ceruloplasmin (CP) is a major multicopper-containing plasma protein that is not only involved in iron metabolism through its ferroxidase activity but also functions as an antioxidant. However,… Expand

Conformational stability and warfarin-binding properties of human serum albumin studied by recombinant mutants.
Correctly folded recombinant wild-type human serum albumin and the single-residue mutants K199A, W214A, R218H and H242Q were produced with the use of a yeast expression system. The changes in R218H… Expand

Crystal structure of meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase in a complex with NAD+ and inhibitor mercaptoethanol at 1.7 A resolution for understanding of chiral substrate recognition mechanisms.
The crystal structure of a ternary complex of meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase with NAD+ and a competitive inhibitor, mercaptoethanol, has been determined at 1.7 A resolution by means of molecular… Expand

Nanomolar quantification and identification of various nitrosothiols by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with flow reactors of metals and Griess reagent.
Nitrosothiols (RS-NOs) appear to be critically involved in various signal transduction mechanisms. We describe here a specific and highly sensitive quantification method for RS-NOs by using high… Expand

Inhibitory effects of flavonoids on rabbit heart carbonyl reductase.
The inhibitory effects of flavonoids (galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, morin, and taxifolin) on rabbit heart carbonyl reductase (RHCR) were investigated using 4-benzoylpyridine (4BP) as… Expand

Purification and catalytic properties of a tetrameric carbonyl reductase from rabbit heart.
An enzyme responsible for the ketone-reduction of 4-benzoylpyridine (4BP) was purified 350-fold to homogeneity from the cytosolic fraction of rabbit heart. The purified enzyme exhibited a molecular… Expand

Inhibition of rabbit heart carbonyl reductase by fatty acids.
The inhibition of rabbit heart carbonyl reductase (RHCR) by fatty acids was examined using 4-benzoylpyridine (4BP) as a substrate. The inhibitory potency of saturated fatty acids increased with… Expand
