John Schloss co-authors a paper featured in Advances in Enzymology and Related Areas of Molecular Biology

John Schloss, professor and chair of Pharmaceutical Sciences in College of Pharmacy, published a paper highlighting more than a decade of his research.  John V. Schloss, Ph.D., in collaboration with Victoria I. Bunik of Moscow Lomonosov State University, Moscow, John T. Pinto and Arthur J. L. Cooper of New York Medical College, Valhalla, New York, and Natalia Dudareva, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, coauthored a paper that appeared in the most recent volume of Advances in Enzymology and Related Areas of Molecular Biology.  This series, which began in 1941, is one of the most prestigious in the field, devoted to the latest trends in molecular biology and enzymology.  Discovery of oxygen-consuming side reactions of key enzymes by Professor Schloss led to a research program that has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research, and more recently, the Pfeiffer Research Foundation.  These cryptic reactions form the basis of oxygen-induced seizures, the mechanism of action for various herbicides and biocides, and the likely etiology of some cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.
