Abstract
Anthraquinones (9,10-dioxoanthracenes) constitute an important class of natural and synthetic compounds with a wide range of applications. Besides their utilization as colorants, anthraquinone derivatives have been used since centuries for medical applications, for example, as laxatives and antimicrobial and antiinflammatory agents. Current therapeutic indications include constipation, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Moreover, biologically active anthraquinones derived from Reactive Blue 2 have been utilized as valuable tool compounds for biochemical and pharmacological studies. They may serve as lead structures for the development of future drugs. However, the presence of the quinone moiety in the structure of anthraquinones raises safety concerns, and anthraquinone laxatives have therefore been under critical reassessment. This review article provides an overview of the chemistry, biology, and toxicology of anthraquinones focusing on their application as drugs.

Abstract
Cibacron blue is a potent inhibitor of 3-HBA-6-hydroxylase at a concentration < 1 microM. Kinetic analyses revealed that at a concentration below 0.5 microM the dye behaves as an uncompetitive inhibitor with respect to 3-HBA and competes with NADH for the same site on the enzyme. The alteration of the near-UV CD spectrum and quenching of the emission fluorescence of the enzyme by cibacron blue indicates a significant alteration in the environment of aromatic amino acid residues due to a stacking interaction and subtle conformatiodnal changes in the enzyme. The concentration-dependent quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of the enzyme by cibacron blue was employed to determine the binding parameters such as association constant (Ka) and stoichiometry (r) for the enzyme-dye complex.

Abstract
Affinity chromatography has the reputation of a more expensive and less robust than other types of liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the technique is considered to stand a modest chance of large-scale purification of proteinaceous pharmaceuticals. This perception is changing because of the pressure for quality protein therapeutics, and the realization that higher returns can be expected when ensuring fewer purification steps and increased product recovery. These developments necessitated a rethinking of the protein purification processes and restored the interest for affinity chromatography. This liquid chromatography technique is designed to offer high specificity, being able to safely guide protein manufactures to successfully cope with the aforementioned challenges. Affinity ligands are distinguished into synthetic and biological. These can be generated by rational design or selected from ligand libraries. Synthetic ligands are generated by three methods. The rational method features the functional approach and the structural template approach. The combinatorial method relies on the selection of ligands from a library of synthetic ligands synthesized randomly. The combined method employs both methods, that is, the ligand is selected from an intentionally biased library based on a rationally designed ligand. Biological ligands are selected by employing high-throughput biological techniques, e.g. phage- and ribosome-display for peptide and microprotein ligands, in addition to SELEX for oligonucleotide ligands. Synthetic mimodyes and chimaeric dye-ligands are usually designed by rational approaches and comprise a chloro-triazinlyl scaffold. The latter substituted with various amino acids, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic groups, generates libraries from which synthetic ligands can be selected. A 'lead' compound may help to generating a 'focused' or 'biased' library. This can be designed by various approaches, e.g.: (i) using a natural ligand-protein complex as a template; (ii) applying the principle of complementarity to exposed residues of the protein structure; and (iii) mimicking directly a natural biological recognition interaction. Affinity ligands, based on the peptide structure, can be peptides, peptide-mimetic derivatives (<30 monomers) and microproteins (e.g. 25-200 monomers). Microprotein ligands are selected from biological libraries constructed of variegated protein domains, e.g. minibody, Kunitz, tendamist, cellulose-binding domain, scFv, Cytb562, zinc-finger, SpA-analogue (Z-domain).

Abstract
Both serine hydroxymethyltransferase and aspartate aminotransferase belong to the alpha-class of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxalP)-dependent enzymes but exhibit different reaction and substrate specificities. A comparison of the X-ray structure of these two enzymes reveals that their active sites are nearly superimposable. In an attempt to change the reaction specificity of serine hydroxymethyltransferase to a transaminase, His 230 was mutated to Tyr which is the equivalent residue in aspartate aminotransferase. Surprisingly, the H230Y mutant was found to catalyze oxidation of NADH in an enzyme concentration dependent manner instead of utilizing L-aspartate as a substrate. The NADH oxidation could be linked to oxygen consumption or reduction of nitrobluetetrazolium. The reaction was inhibited by radical scavengers like superoxide dismutase and D-mannitol. The Km and kcat values for the reaction of the enzyme with NADH were 74 microM and 5. 2 x 10-3 s-1, respectively. This oxidation was not observed with either the wild type serine hydroxymethyltransferase or H230A, H230F or H230N mutants. Thus, mutation of H230 of sheep liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase to Tyr leads to induction of an NADH oxidation activity implying that tyrosyl radicals may be mediating the reaction.

Abstract
The dye Cibacron Blue F3GA has a high affinity for many proteins and enzymes. It has therefore been attached to various solid supports such as Sephadex, Sepharose, polyacrylamide, and the like. In the immobilized form the dye has rapidly been exploited as an affinity chromatographic medium to separate and purify a variety of proteins including dehydrogenases, kinases, serum albumin, interferons, several plasma proteins, and a host of other proteins. Such a diversity shown by the blue dye in binding several unrelated classes of proteins has generated considerable work in terms of studies of the chromophore itself and also the immobilized ligand. As a prelude to realizing the full potential of the immobilized Cibacron Blue F3GA, an understanding of the basic interactions of the dye with its surroundings must be gained. It has been recognized that the dye is capable of hydrophobic and/or electrostatic interactions at the instance of the ambient conditions. The study of interactions of the dye with salts, solvents, and other small molecules indicates the nature of the interactions of the dye with different kinds of groups at the interacting sites of proteins. The review will cover such interactions of the dye with the proteins, the interactions of the proteins with the immobilized ligand, and the media used to elute the bound protein in several cases, and thus consolidate the available information on such studies into a cogent and comprehensive explanation.

Abstract
Cibacron blue was found to inhibit assembly and increase the critical concentration of microtubule proteins. In the presence of 4 mol Cibacron blue/mol tubulin, assembly was completely inhibited and pre-formed microtubules disassembled. Addition of 8% (v/v) dimethylsulfoxide to Cibacron blue-inhibited samples induced assembly of normal microtubules in addition to sheets of protofilaments. Disassembly was induced upon addition of 1 mM colchicine or 2 mM Ca2+. No obvious difference was seen in the protein composition of these microtubules compared with controls. GTP exchange was not affected by the presence of Cibacron blue nor was GTP able to counteract its effect. This indicates that the exchangeable GTP site is not involved. The extent of assembly of phosphocellulose purified tubulin in the presence of 8% (v/v) dimethylsulfoxide was only slightly less in the presence of Cibacron blue, although the assembly rate was decreased. These results suggest that Cibacron blue might alter the binding of one or more of the associated proteins stimulating assembly.

Abstract
Although beta-lactamases do not require any nucleotide co-substrates, the OXA-2 type is inhibited competitively by Cibacron Blue 3GA, and by other anthraquinone dyes, including some simpler compounds with no side chain. The enzyme causes a red shift in the spectrum of Cibacron Blue. The beta-lactamase can be adsorbed in Blue Sepharose and specifically eluted by benzylpenicillin. These results indicate that the binding of anthraquinone dyes is a specific effect similar to that seen with many nucleotide-binding enzymes.

Abstract
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase, the first enzyme in the pathway for interconversion of C(1) fragments, was purified to homogeneity for the first time from any plant source. The enzyme from 72-h mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) seedlings was isolated using Blue Sepharose CL-6B and folate-AH-Sepharose-4B affinity matrices and had the highest specific activity (1.33 micromoles of HCHO formed per minute per milligram protein) reported hitherto.The enzyme preparation was extremely stable in the presence of folate or l-serine. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, ethylenediaminetetraacetate and 2-mercaptoethanol prevented the inactivation of the enzyme during purification. The enzyme functioned optimally at pH 8.5 and had two temperature maxima at 35 and 55 degrees C. The K(m) values for serine were 1.25 and 68 millimolar, corresponding to V(max) values of 1.8 and 5.4 micromoles of HCHO formed per minute per milligram protein, respectively. The K(0.5) value for l-tetrahydrofolate (H(4)folate) was 0.98 millimolar. Glycine, the product of the reaction and d-cycloserine, a structural analog of d-alanine, were linear competitive inhibitors with respect to l-serine with K(i) values of 2.30 and 2.02 millimolar, respectively. Dichloromethotrexate, a substrate analog of H(4)folate was a competitive inhibitor when H(4)folate was the varied substrate. Results presented in this paper suggested that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate may not be essential for catalysis.The sigmoid saturation pattern of H(4)folate (n(H) = 2.0), one of the substrates, the abolition of sigmoidicity by NADH, an allosteric positive effector (n(H) = 1.0) and the increase in sigmoidicity by NAD(+) and adenine nucleotides, negative allosteric effectors (n(H) = 2.4) clearly established that this key enzyme in the folate metabolism was an allosteric protein. Further support for this conclusion were the observations that (a) serine saturation exhibited an intermediary plateau region; (b) partial inhibition by methotrexate, aminopterin, O-phosphoserine, dl-alpha-methylserine and dl-O-methylserine; (c) subunit nature of the enzyme; and (d) decrease in the n(H) value from 2.0 for H(4)folate to 1.5 in presence of l-serine.These results highlight the regulatory nature of mung bean serine hydroxymethyltransferase and its possible involvement in the modulation of the interconversion of folate coenzymes.

Abstract
The tumour growth inhibitor L-2-amino-4-methoxy-trans-3-butenoic acid (Ro07-7957) inhibits serine hydroxymethyltransferase in cytosolic extracts of Walker carcinoma non-competitively with respect to L-serine with an apparent inhibition constant similar to the Km-value for L-serine. The kinetics of inactivation suggest that it reacts as an irreversible substrate analogue. Incubation of Walker cells with Ro07-7957 causes an increase in serine hydroxymethyltransferase activity which is most pronounced at concentrations less than or equal to LD50. This increase in enzyme activity does not occur in the presence of cycloheximide. These results suggest that inhibition of serine hydroxymethyltransferase in intact cells is accompanied by an increase in enzyme biosynthesis and that the growth inhibitory property or Ro07-7957 does not involve interference with the conversion of serine to glycine.

Abstract
An improved radioactive assay has been developed for serine transhydroxymethylase. This assay involves the direct measurement of the [14C]HCHO which is generated when [3- 14C]-serine is employed as the substrate. The new assay eliminates the need for a solvent extraction of a [14C]HCHO-dimedon adduct which is the basis of the assay devised by Taylor and Weissbach. The enzyme has been purified employing Affi-Gel Blue. The purified enzyme retains full activity when bound to this affinity chromatography matrix and can be stored in this state at 4 degrees indefinitely.
