Operando identification of a side-on nickel superoxide intermediate and the mechanism of oxygen evolution on nickel oxyhydroxide

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key electrochemical reac-tion relevant to energy storage. Ni-containing bimetallic oxyhydrox-ides are among the most active OER catalysts in alkaline medium, but the mechanism of OER on pure Ni oxyhydroxide remains ...

Evaluation of the role of superoxide radical as chain carrier for the formation of hydroxyl radical during ozonation

Urs von Gunten, Gang Yu, Yan Wang

Superoxide radicals (O-2(center dot-)) have been suggested as an important chain carrier in the radical chain reaction that promotes ozone (O-3) decomposition to hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) during ozonation. However, due to the difficulty in meas ...

Influence of aerosol acidity and organic ligands on transition metal solubility and oxidative potential of fine particulate matter in urban environments

Athanasios Nenes, Gerhard Lammel

The adverse health effects of air pollution around the world have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Such outcomes are thought to be related to the induction of oxidative stress due to the excess formation of reactive o ...

Detecting the metabolism of individual yeast mutant strain cells when aged, stressed or treated with antioxidants with diamond magnetometry

Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux

Free radicals play a key role in the ageing process. However, free radicals are small, reactive and short lived and thus challenging to measure. We utilize a new technique called diamond magnetometry for this pur-pose. We make use of nitrogen vacancy cente ...

Photochemical oxidation of phenols and anilines mediated by phenoxyl radicals in aqueous solution

Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica, Stephanie Christa Remke

Reactive intermediates formed upon irradiation of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) contribute to the degradation of various organic contaminants in surface waters. Besides well-studied "short-lived" photo oxidants, such as triplet state CDOM (3 ...

Mechanistic modelling of solar disinfection (SODIS) kinetics of Escherichia coli, enhanced with H2O2 - Part 2: Shine on you, crazy peroxide

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Ling Feng

In this second part of the development of a mechanistic kinetic model of the solar inactivation of E. coli enhanced with hydrogen peroxide, we evaluate the mechanisms based on photonic inactivation and integrate them into the kinetic model of the dark proc ...

Intrinsically High Capacity of Animal Cells From a Symbiotic Cnidarian to Deal With Pro-Oxidative Conditions

Gaëlle Delphine Toullec

The cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis is a mutualistic intracellular association based on the photosynthetic activity of the endosymbiont. This relationship involves significant constraints and requires co-evolution processes, such as an extensive capacit ...

Permanganate Reduction by Hydrogen Peroxide: Formation of Reactive Manganese Species and Superoxide and Enhanced Micropollutant Abatement

Urs von Gunten, Ke Xu

Permanganate (MnO4-, Mn(VII)) is widely applied at the initial stage of water treatment to, e.g., abate taste and odor compounds, Mn(II) and Fe(II). However, its selectivity limits its application for micropollutant abatement. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whi ...

Photo-induced environmental remediation, biomedical imaging, and microbial inactivation by Mn-doped semiconductors: critical issues

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The Mn-doping/decoration of S-containing semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) determine their photochemical properties and are important in the field of artificial photosynthesis. The Mn-mediated charge-transfer kinetics and energetics in composites of the typ ...

Disruption of mitochondrial redox homeostasis by enzymatic activation of a trialkylphosphine probe

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced and oxidized glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio is different ...

Mechanism of Oxygen Evolution Catalyzed by Cobalt Oxyhydroxide: Cobalt Superoxide Species as a Key Intermediate and Dioxygen Release as a Rate-Determining Step

Xile Hu, Seunghwa Lee, Aliki Moysiadou

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the performance-limiting half reaction of water splitting, which can be used to produce hydrogen fuel using renewable energies. Whereas a number of transition metal oxides and oxyhydroxides have been developed as prom ...

Multimodal Response to Copper Binding in Superoxide Dismutase Dynamics

David Lyndon Emsley

Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a homodimeric metalloenzyme that has been extensively studied as a benchmark for structure-function relationships in proteins, in particular because of its implication in the familial form of the neurodegenerative ...

Generation of hydroxyl radical during chlorination of hydroxyphenols and natural organic matter extracts

Urs von Gunten, Eva Maria Rodriguez Franco

The generation of hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) during the chlorination of air saturated solutions of different hydroxyphenols (hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, gallic and tannic acids) at pH 7 has been determined by the formation of phenol (in ...

Renal Purge of Hemolymphatic Lipids Prevents the Accumulation of ROS-Induced Inflammatory Oxidized Lipids and Protects Drosophila from Tissue Damage

Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Xiaoxue Li

Animals require complex metabolic and physiological adaptations to maintain the function of vital organs in response to environmental stresses and infection. Here, we found that infection or injury in Drosophila induced the excretion of hemolymphatic lipid ...

Single yeast cell nanomotions correlate with cellular activity

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba, Anton Malovichko

Living single yeast cells show a specific cellular motion at the nanometer scale with a magnitude that is proportional to the cellular activity of the cell. We characterized this cellular nanomotion pattern of nonattached single yeast cells using classical ...
