This study showed that the application of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2) alone was not sufficient to oxidize Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in water. Fenton process was found to be effective in removing DMP from pure water and seemed to follow a pseudo-first order reaction, however, it did…
Mechanistically and structurally chloroperoxidase (CPO) occupies a unique niche among heme containing enzymes. Chloroperoxidase catalyzes a broad range of reactions, such as oxidation of organic substrates, dismutation of hydrogen peroxide, and mono-oxygenation of organic molecu…
The entire epidermis of patients with vitiligo exhibits accumulation of up to 10-3M concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) (Schallreuter, Moore et al. 1999). Over the last decade our group and others have focused on the effect of H₂O₂-mediated oxidative stress on the functio…
