Pseudomonas cytochrome C-551 peroxidase. A purification procedure and study of CO-binding kinetics. 1983

N Foote, and A C Thompson, and D Barber, and C Greenwood

A procedure is described for the purification of cytochrome c peroxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa involving extraction by sonication, followed by acid precipitation and chromatography on only two types of gel. The final preparation had a purity ratio A407/A280 of 4.2, and was found to be essentially pure by isoelectric focusing. The enzyme was shown to be unstable during degassing under vacuum except in the presence of detergent. The kinetics of CO binding to dithionite-reduced peroxidase were studied with stopped-flow and flash-photolysis techniques, and the results obtained between pH 5 and 7 suggest the existence of two forms of dithionite-reduced enzyme in slow equilibrium.

D011550 Pseudomonas aeruginosa A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection. Bacillus aeruginosus,Bacillus pyocyaneus,Bacterium aeruginosum,Bacterium pyocyaneum,Micrococcus pyocyaneus,Pseudomonas polycolor,Pseudomonas pyocyanea
D002248 Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Monoxide, Carbon
