effects of imidazoles and substituted pyridines and pure s-donors on the oxidation of cyclooctene with naio4 by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tpp)oac, and 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tmp)oac, catalysts in ch2cl2-h2o solvent are studied. coordination of the nitrogen donors to the mn-catalysts generally caused a reduction in the e...

The enzymatic conversion of plant biomass has been recently revolutionized by the discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) that carry out oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. These very powerful enzymes are abundant in fungal saprotrophs. LPMOs require activation by electrons that can be provided by cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs), but as some fungi lack CDH-encoding genes, o...

A broad scientific community is involved in investigations aimed at delineating the mechanisms of formation and cellular processing of oxidatively generated damage to nucleic acids. Perhaps as a consequence of this breadth of research expertise, there are nomenclature problems for several of the oxidized bases including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua), a ubiquitous marker of almost every ty...

The Ccr4-Not complex is a multifunctional regulatory platform composed of nine subunits that controls diverse cellular events including mRNA degradation, protein ubiquitination, and transcription. In this study, we identified the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae osmotic and oxidative stress transcription factor Skn7 as a new target for regulation by the Ccr4-Not complex. Skn7 interacts with Not1 ...

The kinetics of the thermal and microwaveassisted oxidative degradation of poly(ethylene oxide) were determined with potassium persulfate as the oxidizing agent. Gel permeation chromatography was used to determine the variation of the molecular weight with time. The degradation was studied as a function of the temperature and persulfate concentration, and it was found that the degradation rate ...

Abstract Currently, there is a growing interest in the study of environmental degradation pathways organic contaminants such as pesticides, with objective to better understand their potential risk for systems and living organisms. In this context, DFT (conceptual density functional theory) predictive methods may systematically be used simplify accelerate elucidation degradation. We report herei...

We show that Ydr049 (renamed VCP/Cdc48-associated mitochondrial stress-responsive--Vms1), a member of an unstudied pan-eukaryotic protein family, translocates from the cytosol to mitochondria upon mitochondrial stress. Cells lacking Vms1 show progressive mitochondrial failure, hypersensitivity to oxidative stress, and decreased chronological life span. Both yeast and mammalian Vms1 stably inter...

To get deeper insight into the effect of high pressure high temperature (HPHT) processing on the volatile fraction of carrots, differently coloured cultivars exhibiting orange, purple, red and yellow hues were investigated. The impact of HPHT sterilisation was compared with thermal sterilisation based on equivalent microbiological inactivation. The results of this study demonstrated HPHT steril...

This paper studied the chronic fatigue induced by excessive exercise and the restoration effects of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on mitochondria. In vivo, we found that excessive exercise could cause oxidative stress statue which led to morphological and functional changes of mitochondria. The changes, including imbalance between mitochondria fusion-fission processes, activation of mitophag...
