Methylation of cytosine at CpG sites in mammalian cells plays an important role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Here, we assessed the formation of single-nucleobase lesions and intrastrand cross-link lesions (i.e. G[8-5]C, C[5-8]G, mC[5m-8]G, and G[8-5m]mC, where 'mC' represents 5-methylcytosine) in unmethylated and the corresponding CpG-methylated synthetic double-stranded DNA...

Abstract Fenton processes allow to degrade and mineralize toxic organic contaminants, yet classical require continuously adding hydrogen peroxide ferrous ions, costly solution pH adjustment, treatment of secondary iron sludge pollution. Heterogeneous electro-Fenton deliver oxidizing radicals with only oxygen electricity consumed. Bifunctional catalysts the synthesis activation simultaneously, e...

and cause health and environmental effects. this study investigates the optimization of the parameters affecting the advanced oxidation process fenton for improving toc removal from aqueous solution includes amoxicillin antibiotic by using taguchi experimental design. methods: in this study for evaluation the effect of factors and determination optimal conditions to removal toc by fenton proces...

Alternative conditioning of aluminium-based drinking water treatment sludge using Fenton reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) was examined in this study. Focuses were placed on effectiveness and factors to affect such novel application of Fenton process. Experiments have demonstrated that considerable improvement of alum sludge dewaterability evaluated by capillary suction time (CST) can be obtained at the rela...

The photo-Fenton reaction is a promising method to treat organic contaminants in water. In this paper, a Fenton reagent enhanced by microwave electrodeless ultraviolet (MWEUV/Fenton) method was proposed for advanced treatment of nonbiodegradable organic substance in pesticide-containing biotreated wastewater. MWEUV lamp was found to be more effective for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal tha...

Background & Aims of the Study: Pharmaceuticals are considered as an emerging environmental problem due to their continuous discharge and persistence to the aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. The purpose of this research was the investigation of advanced oxidation processes (Fenton and Fenton-like) efficiency for the removal of nonbeta lactam Antibiotics of azithromycin and clari...

Oxidation of pollutants in waste water by photo-Fenton reaction has proven an ecofriendly and economical method. Oxidation of amido black – 10B, (an acid dye of azo series) using photoFenton reagent was investigated under ambient conditions. The effect of different parameters like the concentration of ferric ion, amido black10B and hydrogen peroxide, pH, light intensity etc. on the reaction rat...

BACKGROUND Lignocellulolytic bacteria have revealed to be a promising source for biofuel production, yet the underlying mechanisms are still worth exploring. Our previous study inferred that the highly efficient lignocellulose degradation by bacterium Pantoea ananatis Sd-1 might involve Fenton chemistry (Fe2+ + H2O2 + H+ → Fe3+ + OH· + H2O), similar to that of white-rot and brown-rot fungi. The...

The environmental sustainability of a semi-industrial solar photo-Fenton reactor, treating real effluents emanating from a pharmaceutical laboratory, is assessed herein. The life cycle assessment/analysis (LCA) methodology was employed and real life cycle inventory (LCI) data was collected from a ferrioxalate-assisted homogeneous solar photo-Fenton wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), at Ciudad R...

BACKGROUND Fenton reaction (Fe2++H2O2→Fe3++•OH+OH-) is of special significance in the thyroid gland, as both its substrates, i.e. H2O2 and Fe2+, are required for thyroid hormone synthesis. Also iodine, an essential element supplied by the diet, is indispensable for thyroid hormone synthesis. It is well known that iodine affects red-ox balance. One of the most frequently examined oxidative proce...
