We present the first report of biotransformation 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), replacements for explosives 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), respectively, by methane-oxidizing cultures under aerobic conditions. Two consortia, dominated Methylosinus spp., degraded both compounds with transient production reduced NTO products, non-...

Background: Nitrase Therapeutics is unlocking the therapeutic potential of nitrases, a new class enzymes discovered by company that catalyze post-translation modification called nitration. Materials And Methods: Nitrases nitration, process which an NO2 group transferred from peroxynitrite to specific tyrosines on substrates (nitro-substrates). Nitration important modifier protein structure, fun...

Acryloyl based novel energetic monomers having nitro acrylates and nitro triazole acrylates were synthesized and further used for polymerization. Due to scavanging properties of nitro groups, syntheses of nitro aromatic polymers are not facile at normal conditions. In this regard, we report a simple protocol to synthesize these energetic group embeded acroloyl polymers. These polymers were char...
