[HTML][HTML] Oxidative protein folding is driven by the electron transport system

M Bader, W Muse, DP Ballou, C Gassner… - Cell, 1999 - cell.com
Disulfide bond formation is catalyzed in vivo by DsbA and DsbB. Here we reconstitute this
oxidative folding system using purified components. We have found the sources of oxidative …

A molecular basis for nitric oxide sensing by soluble guanylate cyclase

Y Zhao, PE Brandish, DP Ballou… - Proceedings of the …, 1999 - National Acad Sciences
Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a signaling agent by activation of the soluble isoform of guanylate
cyclase (sGC), a heterodimeric hemoprotein. NO binds to the heme of sGC and triggers …

Mechanistic studies of cyclohexanone monooxygenase: chemical properties of intermediates involved in catalysis

D Sheng, DP Ballou, V Massey - Biochemistry, 2001 - ACS Publications
Cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO), a bacterial flavoenzyme, carries out an oxygen
insertion reaction on cyclohexanone to form a seven-membered cyclic product, ε-caprolactone…

Phthalate dioxygenase reductase: a modular structure for electron transfer from pyridine nucleotides to [2Fe-2S]

CC Correll, CJ Batie, DP Ballou, ML Ludwig - Science, 1992 - science.org
Phthalate dioxygenase reductase (PDR) is a prototypical iron-sulfur flavoprotein (36
kilodaltons) that utilizes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) to mediate electron transfer from the two-…

The mechanism of action of xanthine oxidase

JS Olson, DP Ballou, G Palmer, V Massey - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974 - Elsevier
The changes in optical and EPR spectra observed during the anaerobic titration of xanthine
oxidase with dithionite can be accounted for by simple oxidation-reduction equilibria …
