Abstract:
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells stored oxovanadium (IV) ions in a dimeric form. In the late stationary phase Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells grown in rich medium containing concentrations of oxovanadium (V), orthovanadate from 12 to 18 mM, causing growth stasis, a dimeric oxovanadium (IV) species was identified by EPR spectroscopy. The EPR spectrum exhibited at 110 K the low-field forbidden deltaMs = +/-2 transition at g around 4 and the half-field deltaMs = +/-1 15-lines feature at g around 2 out of the presence of a triplet state by the coupling of the oxovanadium (IV) ions in a dimeric form. Hyperfine splitting of 75.2 x 10(-4) cm(-1) and an interionic distance of about 4.4 angstroms was calculated. The dimeric species was localized in the cellular cytoplasmic space.

First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
