The effect of alcohol oxidase on the ascorbic acid-erythrocyte interaction: ESR investigations. 1983

W Lohmann, and J Schreiber, and D Holz, and F R Hopkins

Addition of alcohol oxidase to erythrocytes treated with ascorbic acid reverses the vitamin C effect, as expressed by the appearance of the semidehydroascorbate signal, and the increase in spin concentration. The original erythrocyte electron spin resonance (ESR) signal is, however, never restored completely, as it is in the case if ascorbate oxidase is used. Additional interaction between the enzyme alcohol oxidase and haemoglobin iron must occur, since both of the iron ESR signals at g = 4.3 and g = 6 disappear and the erythrocyte ESR spectrum at g approximately equal to 2 is changed characteristically. The spin concentration of the latter spectrum increases again above a certain concentration of alcohol oxidase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003683 Dehydroascorbic Acid The reversibly oxidized form of ascorbic acid. It is the lactone of 2,3-DIKETOGULONIC ACID and has antiscorbutic activity in man on oral ingestion. Acid, Dehydroascorbic
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical

D000429 Alcohol Oxidoreductases A subclass of enzymes which includes all dehydrogenases acting on primary and secondary alcohols as well as hemiacetals. They are further classified according to the acceptor which can be NAD+ or NADP+ (subclass 1.1.1), cytochrome (1.1.2), oxygen (1.1.3), quinone (1.1.5), or another acceptor (1.1.99).

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
