Cyanobacterial photosystem I has a highly conserved core antenna consisting of eleven subunits and more than 90 chlorophylls. Here via CryoEM and spectroscopy, the authors determine the location of a red-shifted low-energy chlorophyll that allows harvesting of longer wavelengths of light.
Artemisinin is mainly derived from Artemisia annua L. Since the leaves composition is complex, artemisinin purification faces great challenges. In this work, functional chitosan membranes were fabricated by a one-step hydrolysis method through grafting long-chain alkyl group on the surface of chitosan to increase its hydro-phobicity. The as-prepare...

Intraprotein interdomain electron transfer (IET) between the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and heme centers is an obligatory step in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes. An isoform-specific pivotal region near Leu406 in the heme domain of human inducible NOS (iNOS) was proposed to mediate the FMN-heme domain-domain alignment (J Inorg Biochem 153:186-...

Heterogeneously catalyzed epoxidation of vegetable oils by hydrogen peroxide represents a greener route for the production of epoxides and a thermally safer reaction route compared to the classical Prileschajew epoxidation approach. The epoxidation kinetics of the heterogeneous system formed by aluminium oxide catalyst, hydrogen peroxide and methyl...

In order to investigate interactions among biomass components on pyrolysis kinetics, pyrolysis experiments of individual components, synthetic biomass (designed by Design-Export software) and natural biomass (rice husk and corn straw) were conducted on a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The results revealed that the pyrolysis behavior of cellulose...

Textile dyes, namely Sumifix Blue Exf (Dye 1), Sumifix Rubine Exf (Dye 2) and Sumifix Yellow Exf (Dye 3), show their characteristic λmax values at 605 nm, 545 nm and 415 nm, respectively. Gel electrophoresis of the three individual dyes investigated indicates that all of them are negatively charged. Among different adsorbents, brick clay shows the ...

Dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) is one of the most toxic and common nitrogenous disinfection by-products in water treatment. It is necessary to understand how this compound can be removed. In this study, the effectiveness of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) at 185 nm was evaluated to destroy DCAN. When water is exposed to VUV, hydroxyl radicals (HO•), hydrogen...

Surfactants are organic compounds which can be used in several applications. However, they can contaminate world water resources causing detrimental effects to human beings, aquatic life, and animals. This paper investigates the adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic properties for the removal of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenz...

AbstractPotassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4) mediated oxidation of certain alcohols (Polyols) has been studied by quinolinium bound Cr(VI) reagents like quinolinium dichromate (QDC) and quinolinium chlorochromate (QCC) at different temperatures. Reaction kinetics revealed second order kinetics with a first order in [Alcohol] and [Cr(VI) reagent] at c...
