The transsulfuration pathway plays a key role in mammals for maintaining the balance between cysteine and homocysteine, whose concentrations are critical in several biochemical processes. Human cystathionine β-synthase is a heme-containing, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme found in this pathway. The heme group does not participate dire...
The increasing number of patients on the kidney transplant waiting list underlines the need to expand the donor pool and improve kidney graft utilization. By protecting kidney grafts adequately from the initial ischemic and subsequent reperfusion injury occurring during transplantation, both the number and quality of kidney grafts could be improved...
Removal of H2S via hot gas desulfurization demands more advanced and efficient processes to meet the envi-ronmental and economic requirements of modern industry. Hereto, we propose a novel process, termed CO2- assisted Chemical Looping Hot Gas Desulfurization (CCLHGD), that involves alternating H2S-induced sulfuri-zation and CO2-enabled regeneratio...
The popular genetic model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) encodes 34 globins, whereby the few that are well-characterized show divergent properties besides the typical oxygen carrier function. Here, we present a biophysical characterization and expression analysis of C. elegans globin-3 (GLB-3). GLB-3 is predicted to exist in two isofo...

The impact of high siltation and accumulation of organic and waste material in the intertidal of the dammed Ba Lai River in Vietnam as part of the Mekong estuarine system was investigated by means of marine free-living nematodes. Nutrients content (nitrate, ammonium, total phosphorus, total nitrogen), total suspended solids, total organic carbon, c...
Arsenic in acid mine drainage (AMD) is commonly associated with the bioleaching of arsenic sulfide minerals. Orpiment is iron free and one of the most common arsenic sulfide minerals, but no studies are involved with the relationship between the iron free bioleaching of orpiment and the generation of arsenic-containing AMD. In this study, the iron ...

The highly efficient performance of H2S absorption is the crucial indicator for haloalkaliphilic biological desulfurization (HBDS) because it immediately concerns the H2S removal efficiency and pH change of alkaline solutions. Therefore, we investigated the effect of operating parameters on the H2S absorption's performance under haloalkaline condit...

The desulfurization of blast furnace gas (BFG) ishighly desired by iron and steel enterprises to realize its resourceutilization with no environmental pollution. In this work, spentactivated coke (SAC) modified by NaOH was innovatively reusedas an efficient material for the removal of carbonyl sulfide (COS)and sulfuretted hydrogen (H2S) from BFG wi...
