The reduction of O2 in respiratory cytochrome c oxidases (CcO) is associated with the generation of the transmembrane proton gradient by two mechanisms. In one of them, the proton pumping, two different types of the ferryl intermediates of the cataly...
Mononuclear nonheme iron(IV)–oxo species supported by mixed nitrogen–sulfur (N/S) ligands remain scarce, despite the prevalence of sulfur donors in biological iron sites and their expected impact on ferryl reactivity and catalyst design....
Electronic structure calculations using the density-functional theory (DFT) have been performed to analyse the effect of water molecules and protonation on the heme group of peroxidases in different redox (ferric, ferrous, compounds I and II) and spi...
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a neutral oxidant molecule with a short lifespan once in contact with electron donors (organic matter). ClO2 solutions have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-protozoan, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and wound-heal...
