Disease relevance of Peroxynitrous acid

  • Here, we describe our studies on the folding of the M1 RNA sub-unit of Escherichia coli RNase P. We performed kinetic footprinting studies of M1 RNA folding with the chemical footprinting reagent peroxynitrous acid to provide a detailed description of the folding pathway of RNase P RNA [1].
  • CONCLUSION: Mild acidosis augments IFN-gamma-induced intestinal epithelial hyperpermeability and ATP depletion, possibly by fostering the formation of peroxynitrous acid and/or hydroxyl radical [2].
  • A joint theoretical and experimental investigation is undertaken to study the effects of OH-stretch/HOON torsion coupling and of quantum yield on the previously reported first overtone action spectrum of cis-cis HOONO (peroxynitrous acid) [3].
 

High impact information on Peroxynitrous acid

  • The new rate constants at pH 5.8 are k1 = 1 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and k(-1) = 500 s(-1) for 25 degrees C and k1 = 1.5 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and k(-1) = 1 x 10(3) s(-1) for 37 degrees C. These values indicate that even at low monohydroascorbate concentrations most of peroxynitrous acid forms an adduct with this antioxidant [4].
  • The activation energies for the formation and decay of peroxynitrous acid have been determined to be 15 and 19 kcal/mol, respectively [5].
  • In contrast to their effects on DHR oxidation, OHGs exerted only minimal inhibitory effects on the hydroxylation of benzoate by PN, suggesting that OHGs do not react with the activated isomer of peroxynitrous acid [6].
  • The fluorescence of the purified GFP isolated from the transformant was quenched by myeloperoxidase (MPO)-generated HOCl, by peroxynitrous acid (ONOOH) and by enzymatically or radiolytically generated NO(2)(.) but not by other putative neutrophil-generated oxidants [7].
  • The pH profile based on oxygen uptake data for the MP reaction matches the titration curve of peroxynitrous acid (pK(a) approximately 7), indicating that peroxynitrite anion is the oxidizing agent [8].
