The oxidation of proteins by free radicals is thought to play a major role in many oxidative
processes within cells and is implicated in a number of human diseases as well as ageing …

As the number of industrial applications for proteins continues to expand, the exploitation of
protein engineering becomes critical. It is predicted that protein engineering can generate …

Time courses for the autooxidation of native and mutant sperm whale and pig myoglobins
were measured at 37 degrees C in the presence of catalase and superoxide dismutase. In …

An overview of myoglobin-initiated lipid oxidation in simple model systems, muscle, and
muscle-based foods is presented. The potential role of myoglobin spin and redox states in …

Many excellent chapters and books have been written on lipid oxidation (1–11). Studies of
lipid oxidation are provided differently by different authors: each scientist studying lipid …

Recent research on the potential use of hemoglobin derivatives as a blood substitute has
revealed that the administration of large quantities of free hemoglobin into the circulation …

Muscle injury (rhabdomyolysis) and subsequent deposition of myoglobin in the kidney
causes renal vasoconstriction and renal failure. We tested the hypothesis that myoglobin …

Direct cytotoxic effects associated with hemoglobin (Hb) or myoglobin (Mb) have been
ascribed to redox reactions (involving either one-or two-electron steps) between the heme …

Pentacoordinate respiratory hemoproteins such as hemoglobin and myoglobin have
evolved to supply cells with oxygen. However, these respiratory heme proteins are also …

The objective of this study was to identify metabolites that could be associated with oxidative
stability of aged bovine muscles. Three muscles (longissimus lumbrum (LL) …
