One of structural characteristics in human serum albumin is a single reactive free sulfhydryl group in position 34. In extracellular fluid such as serum and interstitial fluid, albumin is a mixture of oxidized forms and reduced form having free sulfhydryl group (1). The oxidized form of albumin is induced by oxidization of free sulfhydryl group due to several oxidants such as cystine, oxidized ...

The kinetic effects of plasma assisted fuel oxidization on the extinction of partially premixed methane flames was studied at 60 Torr by blending 2% CH4 into the oxidizer stream. The experiments showed that the non-equilibrium plasma can dramatically accelerate the fuel oxidization at low temperature. The prompt fuel oxidization resulted in fast chemical heat release and extended the extinction...

In this paper, the Co@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method. The oxidization of Co core nanoparticles was studied by the synchrotron radiation-based techniques including in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) up to 800°C in air and N2 protection conditions, respectively. It was found that the oxidization of Co cores is undergoing t...

Past studies have suggested that some carbon monoxide (CO) moves from blood haemoglobin to tissue cells and that mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase oxidizes CO to carbon dioxide (CO(2)). However, no study has demonstrated this redistribution and oxidization of CO under physiological conditions. The objective of this study was to trace the redistribution and oxidization of CO in the human body b...

The Acylase "Amano" (AA)-catalyzed synthesis of valuable pyridin-2-ones via domino Knoevenagel condensation-Michael addition-intramolecular cyclization-oxidization reaction between aldehyde, cyanoacetamide and ethyl acetoacetate or cyclohexyl acetoacetate was developed in the sense of a one-pot strategy. Various aliphatic, aromatic and hetero-aromatic pyridin-2-ones could also be produced in th...

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) coating was formed on the surface of Mg–Al–Zn–Ca alloy (AZX612) by anodically oxidized and subsequently immersed in a supersaturated aqueous solution containing calcium ion under ordinary temperature pressure. The OCP layer consisted both inner fine crystallites outer large crystallites, remained even after ultrasonication process. In simulated body fluid, AZX612 tre...

HMGB1 protein and linker histone H1 have overlapping binding sites in the nucleosome. HMGB1 has been implicated in many DNA-dependent processes in chromatin involving binding of specific proteins, including transcription factors, to DNA sites pre-bent by HMGB1. HMGB1 can also act as an extracellular signaling molecule by promoting inflammation, tumor growth a metastasis. Many of the intra- and ...
