Carob as cocoa substitute: a review on composition, health benefits and food applications
Loullis, Andreas; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia (2018)Cocoa originates from the beans of the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao L.). It is an important commodity and the main ingredient in chocolate manufacture. Its value and quality are related to complex flavors and to its distinct ...

Observation of ligand transfer in ba 3 oxidase from thermus thermophilus: Simultaneous FTIR detection of photolabile heme a 3 2+-CN and transient CuB 2+-CN complexes
Loullis, Andreas; Noor, M. R.; Soulimane, T.; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia (2012)FTIR and light-minus-dark FTIR spectroscopy have been employed to investigate the reaction of oxidized and fully reduced ba3 oxidase with cyanide. The characterization of the structures of the bound CN- in the binuclear ...

Probing the ligand recognition and discrimination environment of the globin-coupled oxygen sensor protein YddV by FTIR and time-resolved step-scan FTIR spectroscopy
Pavlou, A.; Martínková, M.; Shimizu, T.; Kitanishi, K.; Stranava, M.; Loullis, Andreas; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia (2015)YddV is a newly discovered signal transducer heme protein that recognizes O2 and CO. Structural differences in the ligand-bound heme complex in YddV reflect variations in catalytic regulation by O2 and CO. Time-resolved ...

Probing the nitrite and nitric oxide reductase activity of cbb3 oxidase: Resonance Raman detection of a six-coordinate ferrous heme-nitrosyl species in the binuclear b3/CuB center
Loullis, Andreas; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia (2015)In this work we report the first spectroscopic evidence demonstrating that cbb3 oxidase catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to nitrous oxide under reducing anaerobic conditions. The reaction proceeds through the formation ...

The structure of a ferrous heme-nitro species in the binuclear heme a3/CuB center of ba3-cytochrome c oxidase as determined by resonance Raman spectroscopy
Loullis, Andreas; Noor, M. R.; Soulimane, T.; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia (2015)Members of the cytochrome c oxidase family exhibit nitrite reductase activity. In this work, we have characterized a ferrous heme a3-nitro species in ba3-oxidase by resonance Raman spectroscopy. This provides the first ...
