The use of a conjugate of colloidal gold with monotypic antibodies against a neutral Mn(2+)-dependent DNAse has revealed the enzyme localization in ultrathin Epon sections of glutaraldehyde fixed tissues. Technical procedures involved in fixation, embedding, and immune reactions are described. DNAse has been established in the nuclei in both normal and regenerating liver. A protein, immunologically close to DNAse, has been identified in the nuclei of a lymph node, thymus, spleen and cerebellar cortex.

In pharmaceuticals, the structural and functional alterations induced by biotransformation are well-documented. Many pharmaceuticals exist in various crystal forms, which govern their transformation and significantly impact their activity. However, in the field of inorganic nanomedicine, there is a paucity of research focusing on the influence of crystal form-dependent "metabolism" (transformation) on their activity and biomechanism.

Sphingomyelinase (SMase) catalyzes ceramide production from sphingomyelin. Ceramides are critical in cellular responses such as apoptosis. They enhance mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) through self-assembly in the mitochondrial outer membrane to form channels that release cytochrome c from intermembrane space (IMS) into the cytosol, triggering caspase-9 activation.

The excess of minerals in the industrial substrates is detrimental for Saccharomyces cerevisiae ethanol fermentation performance. In this work, we sought to understand the effect of some of those minerals on the physiology of Dekkera bruxellensis. Three groups of minerals were classified on the basis of the aerobic growth profiles on glucose: neutrals (K+, Mg2+, P5+ and Zn2+), inducers (Mn2+ and Ca2+) and inhibitors (Al3+, Cu2+ and Fe2+).

DyP-type peroxidases (DyPs) are microbial enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of substrates, including synthetic dyes, lignin-derived compounds, and metals, such as Mn and Fe, and have enormous biotechnological potential in biorefineries. However, many questions on the molecular basis of enzyme function and stability remain unanswered. In this work, high-resolution structures of DyP wild-type and two engineered variants (6E10 and 29E4) generated by directed evolution were obtained.

Mn release is particularly important for biological application of manganese-based nanomaterials. However, the Mn release profiles of the manganese ferrite nanoparticles are under clarification. Here, we synthesized 3, 10, and 18 nm manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MFNPs) as model systems to study the Mn release behavior, size, and pH-dependent kinetics.
