The aim of this study was to better understanding totNTdegradation, especially to answer the question if TNT is metabolised by higly specific nitroreductases or by constitutive enzymes with nitroreductase activity. The enzym catalysed the first steps in the reduction of nitro groups was found using cell culture of Saponaria officinalis. It was NAD(P)H dependent with homology of oxophytodienoate reductase and was classified as a member of family of the „Old Yellow Enzyme“.
Cílem studie bylo lepší porozumnění biotransformace TNT v rostlinách, zejména pak zodpovězení otázky, zda je TNT metabolizován specifickými nitroreduktázami nebo konstitutivními enzymy s nitroreduktázovou aktivitou. V buněčné kultuře Saponaria officinalsi se podařilo nalézt NAD(P)H dependentní enzym katalyzující první krok v redukci nitroskupiny. Tento enzym byl charakterizován a pomocí “Blast protein data bank” klasifikován jako člen enzymové rodiny „Old Yellow Enzyme“.
