Amperometric flow injection analysis of glucose and galactose based on engineered pyranose 2-oxidases and osmium polymers for biosensor applications
(Wiley, 2018-04-25)
In the present study, wild type and three mutants of pyranose 2-oxidase (PyOx-WT, PyOx-MT1, PyOx-MT2, PyOx-MT3), which showed improved properties for D-galactose oxidation, were investigated for their oxidising ability ...
Cytotoxicity and ROS production of novel Pt(IV) oxaliplatin derivatives with indole propionic acid
(Elsevier, 2019-04-19)
The coordination of biologically active moieties to the axial positions of Pt(IV) derivatives of Pt(II) anticancer drugs allows the co-delivery and simultaneous activation of two pro-drugs for combination therapy. Pt(IV) ...
Anomer preferences for glucuronic and galacturonic acid and derivatives and influence of electron-withdrawing substituents
(American Chemical Society, 2018-07-04)
Equilibrium anomeric ratios are reported for pyranoses (hemiacetals) of glucuronic and galacturonic acid and their derivatives. These are compared to related gluco- and galactopyranoses and to deoxyfluorogluco- and ...
Extracellular electron transfer by the gram-positive bacterium enterococcus faecalis
(American Chemical Society, 2018-07-10)
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microbial cells is essential for certain biotechnological applications and contributes to the biogeochemical cycling of elements and syntrophic microbial metabolism in complex natural ...
Bioelectrochemical Haber-Bosch process: An ammonia-producing H-2/N-2 fuel cell
(Wiley, 2017-02-03)
Nitrogenases are the only enzymes known to reduce molecular nitrogen (N-2) to ammonia (NH3). By using methyl viologen (N, N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) to shuttle electrons to nitrogenase, N-2 reduction to NH3 can be ...
Snake venom potency and yield are associated with prey‐evolution, predator metabolism and habitat structure
(Wiley, 2019-01-07)
Snake venom is well known for its ability to incapacitate and kill prey. Yet, potency and the amount of venom available varies greatly across species, ranging from the seemingly harmless to those capable of killing vast ...
The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
Ethyl levulinate (Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate) is a liquid molecule at ambient temperature, comprising of ketone and ethyl ester functionalities and is one of the prominent liquid fuel candidates that may be easily obtained from ...
Cold adaptation and replicable microbial community development during long-term low-temperature anaerobic digestion treatment of synthetic sewage
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-25)
The development and activity of a cold-adapting microbial community was monitored during low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) treatment of wastewater. Two replicate hybrid anaerobic sludge bed-fixed-film reactors ...
Syntheses of C-substituted icosahedral dicarbaboranes bearing the 8-dioxane-cobalt bisdicarbollide moiety
(Elsevier, 2009-11-20)
The treatment of 1,2-, 1,7- and 1,12-carbaborane lithiated isomers with [3,3′-Co-8-(CH2CH2O)2-(1,2-C2B9H10)-(1′,2′-C2B9H11)] (1) at molar ratios 1:1 or 1:2 at room temperature in THF leads generally to the formation of a ...
Spatial frequency domain correlation mapping optical coherence tomography for nanoscale structural characterization
(AIP Publishing, 2019-09-16)
Most of the fundamental pathological processes in living tissues exhibit changes at the nanoscale. Noninvasive, label-free detection of structural changes in biological samples pose a significant challenge to both researchers ...
