Micropollutants with high ecotoxicological risks are frequently detected in aquatic environments, which has aroused great concern in recent years. Humification is one of the most important natural detoxification processes of aquatic micropollutants, and the core reactions of this process are polymerization and coupling. During humification, micropo...

To utilize synergetic effect of graphene's higher conductivity and magnetic nanoparticles biocompatibility, an electrochemical nanobiosensor is constructed based on magnetic nanoparticle decorated graphene (MRGO) using Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for H2O2 sensing. Sensors based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are s...
High-valent iron-oxo species are known for their very high reactivity, and this aspect has been studied in detail over the years. The role of axial ligands in fine-tuning the reactivity of the iron(IV)-oxo species has been particularly well studied. The corresponding role of equatorial ligands, however, has rarely been explored, and is of prime imp...
The lateral nucleus of the trapezoid body (LNTB) is a prominent nucleus in the superior olivary complex in mammals including humans. Its physiology in vivo is poorly understood due to a paucity of recordings. It is thought to provide a glycinergic projection to the medial superior olive (MSO) with an important role in binaural processing and sound ...
Degradations of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) using TiO2/UV photochemical and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzymatic treatments, as well as simultaneous photochemical enzymatic treatments, by combining these two processes were systematically investigated and compared. When free HRP was used in the simultaneous process, a negative synergetic effect w...
Biosensor technology represents an extremely wide field with a great impact to healthcare, environmental and food quality control. The aim of this review is limited to biosensors developed in the very last years specifically for monitoring food contaminants. The review covers the basic principles and types of electrochemical biosensors reported for...

We report the structural and biochemical characterization of GLB-33, a putative neuropeptide receptor that is exclusively expressed in the nervous system of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This unique chimeric protein is composed of a 7-transmembrane domain (7TM), GLB-33 7TM, typical of a G-protein-coupled receptor, and of a globin domain (GD)...
In this work, a new chromogenic calix(4) arene was functionalized onto self assembled monolayer (SAM) of cysteamine for cadmium ions detection and tested by using SPR measurement. The functionalization of modified SPR sensor is based on the oxidation of calixarene-SAM alcohol group to quinone. Four interfering ions were used Cu2+, Co2+, Mg2+ and Ca...
