single crystal zno microrods are deposited on the surface of zn plate through corrosion of zn plate by h2o2, which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to h2o and o2. the structure and morphology of the obtained zno microrods were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and electron diffraction. a thermodyn...

1. Redox titrations are reported of the metal centres in Japanese-lacquer-tree (Rhus vernicifera) laccase with ferrocyanide. 2. The redox potential of Type 1 Cu was found to increase with ferrocyanide concentration up to a limiting value similar to that for the Type 1 Cu in Type 2 Cu-depleted enzyme (which is independent of ferrocyanide concentration). 3. The redox potential of the two-electron...

In Klebsiella pneumoniae, NifL modulates the activity of the transcriptional activator NifA in response to combined nitrogen or external molecular oxygen. We recently showed that K. pneumoniae NifL is a flavoprotein which apparently senses oxygen through a redox-sensitive, conformational change. In order to study whether the nitrogen signal might be transmitted to NifA through a stable modifica...

Intramolecular electron transfer within proteins is an essential process in bioenergetics. Redox cofactors are embedded in proteins, and this matrix strongly influences their redox potential. Several cofactors are usually found in these complexes, and they are structurally organized in a chain with distances between the electron donor and acceptor short enough to allow rapid electron tunneling....

Mathematical modelling of the oxidation reduction redox potential (ORP) of an electrolyte has been carried out for a batch system comprising an electrochemical reactor and an electrolyte circuit containing a redox couple. The ORP can be useful to monitor the environmental impact of chemical species in solution that represent a risk to the environment. Considerations of four fundamental equation...
