Myoglobin catalysis in lipid oxidation

Myoglobin-induced lipid oxidation. A review.

An overview of myoglobin-initiated lipid oxidation in simple model systems, muscle, and muscle-based foods is presented. The potential role of myoglobin spin and redox states in initiating lipid oxidation is reviewed. Proposed mechanisms for myoglobin-initiated lipid oxidation in muscle tissue (pH 7.4) and meat (pH 5.5) are evaluated with the purpose of putting forward general mechanisms explai...

Oxidation Catalysis by Enzymes in Microemulsions

Microemulsions are regarded as “the ultimate enzyme microreactors” for liquid oxidations. Their structure, composed of water nanodroplets dispersed in a non-polar medium, provides several benefits for their use as media for enzymatic transformations. They have the ability to overcome the solubility limitations of hydrophobic substrates, enhance the enzymatic activity (superactivity phenomenon) ...

Iron catalysis in oxidation by ozone

A means and method for improving ozone oxidation through the addition of aniron(II) catalyst is described.

Lipid oxidation.

The electronic factor in alkane oxidation catalysis.

This article addresses the fundamental question of whether concepts from semiconductor physics can be applied to describe the working mode of heterogeneous oxidation catalysts and whether they can be even used to discriminate between selective and unselective reaction pathways. Near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to the oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride on...
