mercury is one of the three major environmental metal poisons, and mercuric chloride is a highly reactive compound which can harm cells by a variety of mechanisms including direct interaction with sulphydryl groups of proteins and enzymes, therefore affecting the enzymatic activity. this study focused on the effect of hg++ on horseradish peroxidase (donor: hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, ec 1...

A feasible and fast method to fabricate hydrogen peroxide sensor was investigated by graphene-manganase nanocomposite carbone paste electrode. In the present work, in first step, the graphene was synthesized by chemical method and in second step, manganese oxide nanoparticle was doped on graphene. graphene-manganase nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The nanocomposite shows a high...

Molecules and atoms can be isolated in low temperature solids, and this offers an opportunity to study their properties in monomeric and complexed forms, and in photochemical reactions. Hydrogen peroxide is an important molecule in various oxidation reactions in industrial chemistry and in the atmosphere. In this thesis, the vibrational properties, structure, and photochemistry of hydrogen pero...

AIM To measure the time course hydrogen peroxide penetration into the pulp cavity and evaluate short-term tooth color changes after bleaching. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty extracted human canines were sectioned, pulp tissue removed and the cavity enlarged. Teeth were painted with nail varnish to leave a 6-mm diameter circle on the buccal surface. Baseline color was measured spectrophotometric...

Hydrogen peroxide sensing microelectrodes for scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) have been developed and used to measure hydrogen peroxide in the diffusion layer during electrochemical reduction of oxygen on gold and carbon electrodes. These microelectrode biosensors were also used to detect immobilized glucose oxidase through the production of hydrogen peroxide during enzymatic oxidati...

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the fundamental molecules of biology, regulating key cell signaling pathways and the development of numerous inflammatory diseases. There is therefore great interest in developing contrast agents that can detect hydrogen peroxide in vitro and in vivo. In this report, we present a new contrast agent for imaging hydrogen peroxide, termed the chemiluminescent poly(ethyl...

The microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW/H2O2-AOP) aided with dilute sulfuric acid was applied in a two-stage treatment of dairy manure for nutrient release, solids reduction, and reducing sugar production. A much higher hydrogen peroxide dosage (1.2 g H2O2/g TS) was used in Stage 2 than that in Stage 1 (0.38 g H2O2/g TS). Most of the reducing sugar was produced in Stage 1, and onl...

In the trend of the use of antimicrobial compounds from natural and renewable resources, natural antimicrobial compounds, particularly found in food and with potential biomedical applications, are of highest interest. In this context, the contribution by Brudzynski et al. to our special issue on “antimicrobial compounds from natural sources” deserves a special attention not only for giving insi...
