NEW MICROBIAL VITAMIN - COENZYME RELATIONSHIPS

这项拟议研究的目的是阐明生物化学， 生理学，以及新的辅酶和维生素的结构 在产甲烷细菌中发现。在生物化学史上， 微生物在viatamins和viatamins的检测中起到了维生素E的作用。 在阐明维生素和辅酶的生化功能方面。 完全了解细胞化学对生化来说很重要 缺乏会导致一种疾病状态。对产甲烷菌的研究揭示了 7新的因子-辅酶关系。对这些辅酶的研究提供了 对生化反应的新见解。为了研究这些辅酶 产甲烷菌在H2+CO2上以千克为单位进行质量培养。 辅酶从细胞提取物到均一物都是分级的，它们的 然后通过使用质谱学、1H-核磁共振、13C-核磁共振、 元素分析和其他分析方法。生物化学的作用 对酶催化中各辅酶的纯化进行了研究。 需要辅酶才能发挥催化活性的酶。产甲烷菌 只是与典型细菌有远亲关系，而且因为它们的 不寻常的新陈代谢通过处理某些 辅酶浓度异常高。

The purpose of the propsed research is to elucidate the biochemistry, physiology, and structure of new coenzymes and vitamins that have been discovered in methanogenic bacteria. In the history of biochemistry, microbbes have played a pivitol role in the assay of viatamins as well as in the elucidation of the biochemical function of vitamins and coenzymes. To completely understand cell chemistry is important, for biochemical deficiencies produce a diseased state. Study of methanogens have revealed 7 new factor-coenzyme relationships. Study of these coenzymes is providing new insights into biochemical reactions. To study these coenzymes methanogens are mass cultered in kilogram quantities on H2 + CO2. Coenzymes are frationated from cell extracts to homogeniety, and their structure is then determined by use of mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, elemental analysis and other analytical procedures. The biochemical role of each coenzyme in enzymatic catalysis is studied theough purification of the enzymes that requires the coenzyme for catalytic activity. Methanogens are only distantly related to typical bacteria, and because of their unusual metabolism are providing unique handles by processing certain coenzymes in unusually high concentrations.
