Oxidation of alloy often involves chemical partition and injection of vacancies. Chemical partition is the consequence of selective oxidation, while injection of vacancies is associated with the differences of diffusivity of cations and anions. It is far from clear as how the injected vacancies behave during oxidation of metal. Using in-situ transmission electron microscopy, we captured unprece...

In this work, optimization of multi-residue solid phase extraction (SPE) procedures coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of Propoxur, Atrazine and Methidathion from environmental waters is reported. Three different sorbents were used in this work: multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), C18 silica and activated carbon (AC). The three optimized SPE procedures...

Formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase, Fpg protein from Escherichia coli, initiates base excision repair in DNA by removing a wide variety of oxidized lesions. In this study, we perform thermodynamic analysis of the multi-stage interaction of Fpg with specific DNA-substrates containing 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanosine (oxoG), or tetrahydrofuran (THF, an uncleavable abasic site analog) and non-specific ...

Oxidized cholesterol is present in significant quantities in the typical Western diet. When ingested, oxidized cholesterol is absorbed by the small intestine and incorporated into both chylomicrons and LDL, resulting in LDL that is more susceptible to further oxidation. Feeding studies in animal models and epidemiological studies in humans have suggested that oxidized cholesterol in the diet in...

Many biological assays have as their basis a link to the oxidative status of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Many dehydrogenase enzymes use these coenzymes to transfer hydrogen groups between molecules. Because the reduced forms of these molecules differ from the oxidized forms in their ability to absorb light, it is possible to qua...

CD36 is a multi-ligand scavenger receptor present on the surface of a number of cells such as platelets, monocytes/macrophages, endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Monocyte/macrophage CD36 has been shown to play a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions by its capacity to bind and endocytose oxidized low density lipoproteins (OxLDL), and it is implicated in the formation of...

in the present work, highly efficient oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by moo2(acac)2 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes, mwcnts, modified with 1,2-diaminobenzene (dab) and 2-aminophenol (ap), at room temperature are reported. the effects of various parameters such as reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, oxidant, etc, were studied. these heterogenized catalysts showed high activity in ...

Amide derivatives of L-alanine and e-caprolactam were readily obtained on diaminefunctionalized oxidized single-walled and pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes through a onestep direct amidation reaction, which employs thermal activation at 160–200 uC instead of chemical activation, avoids the use of organic solvents, and requires a few hours only for completion. In the case of e-caprolactam,...
