Enhanced Indirect Photochemical Transformation of Histidine and Histamine through Association with Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 49 , 5511-9, (2015)

Photochemical transformations greatly affect the stability and fate of amino acids (AAs) in sunlit aquatic ecosystems. Whereas the direct phototransformation of dissolved AAs is well investigated, their indirect photolysis in the presence of chromophoric diss...

The B vitamins nicotinamide (B3) and riboflavin (B2) stimulate metamorphosis in larvae of the deposit-feeding polychaete Capitella teleta: implications for a sensory ligand-gated ion channel.

PLoS ONE 9(11) , e109535, (2014)

Marine sediments can contain B vitamins, presumably incorporated from settled, decaying phytoplankton and microorganisms associated with decomposition. Because B vitamins may be advantageous for the energetically intensive processes of metamorphosis, post-met...

Molecular and functional characterization of riboflavin specific transport system in rat brain capillary endothelial cells.

Brain Res. 1468 , 1-10, (2012)

Riboflavin is an important water soluble vitamin (B2) required for metabolic reactions, normal cellular growth, differentiation and function. Mammalian brain cells cannot synthesize riboflavin and must import from systemic circulation. However, the uptake mec...

Recognition of riboflavin and the capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae type b by antibodies generated to the haptenic epitope D-ribitol.

Glycoconj. J. 31(3) , 247-58, (2014)

D-Ribitol, a five-carbon sugar alcohol, is an important metabolite in the pentose phosphate pathway; it is an integral part of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and cell wall polysaccharides in most Gram-positive and a few Gram-negative bacteria. Antibodies specific to...

Riboflavin's time-dependent degradation rate induced by ultraviolet A irradiation.

Eur. J. Ophthalmol. 22 Suppl 7 , S51-6, (2012)

To evaluate the time-dependent degradation rate of riboflavin after ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation.Two solutions of commercially available riboflavin solution (0.1%) were used; one served as control, while the second was irradiated using UVA light at 370 nm ...

Bicomponent hydrogels of lumichrome and melamine: photoluminescence property and its dependency on pH and temperature.

J. Phys. Chem. B 114(35) , 11454-61, (2010)

Lumichrome (L) and melamine (M) produce thermoreversible hydrogels in LM31 and LM11 compositions, but LM13 composition does not produce hydrogel (the numbers indicate the respective molar ratio of the components). The formation of thermoreversible gels is con...

Effect of divalent anions on photodegradation kinetics and pathways of riboflavin in aqueous solution

Int. J. Pharm. 390(2) , 174-82, (2010)

The present investigation is based on a study of the effect of buffer and non-buffer divalent anions (phosphate, sulphate, tartrate, succinate, malonate) on the kinetics, product distribution and photodegradation pathways of riboflavin (RF) at pH 6.0–8.0. RF ...

Competitive binding of abasic site-binding ligands and masking ligands to DNA duplexes for the analysis of single-base mutation.

Anal. Sci. 29(1) , 15-9, (2013)

We describe a competitive binding assay for the analysis of single-base mutation by using abasic site (AP site)-specific binding fluorescent ligands and masking ligands bound to the AP site in DNA duplexes. 2-Amino-5,6,7-trimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine (ATMND) ca...

Calculating solution redox free energies with ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical minimum free energy path method.

J. Chem. Phys. 130(16) , 164111, (2009)

A quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical minimum free energy path (QM/MM-MFEP) method was developed to calculate the redox free energies of large systems in solution with greatly enhanced efficiency for conformation sampling. The QM/MM-MFEP method describes ...

Riboflavin and lumichrome in Dalmatian sage honey and other unifloral honeys determined by LC-DAD technique.

Food Chem. 135(3) , 1985-90, (2012)

Riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) and its metabolite lumichrome were quantified in 117 samples from 11 unifloral honeys types (Arbutus unedo L., Asphodelus microcarpus Salzm. et Viv., Citrus spp., Eucalyptus spp., Hedysarum coronarium L., Castanea sativa L. honeydew,...
