Alkane Oxidation: Methane Monooxygenases, Related Enzymes, and Their Biomimetics

TL;DR: Progress made over the past two to three decades toward delineating the structures and functions of the catalytic sites in two MMOs are reviewed, culminating in the first successful biomimetic catalyst capable of efficient methane oxidation without overoxidation at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syntheses, crystal structures, and physical properties of dinuclear copper(I) and tetranuclear mixed-valence copper(I,II) complexes with hydroxylated bipyridyl-like ligands.

TL;DR: X-ray single-crystal structural analyses of four copper complexes reveal that 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands are hydroxylated into ophen or obpy during the reaction, which provides structural evidence for the long-time argued Gillard mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcitriol protects renovascular function in hypertension by down-regulating angiotensin II type 1 receptors and reducing oxidative stress.

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro activation of VDR with calcitriol improves endothelial function by normalizing the expressions of AT(1)R and radical generating and scavenging enzymes and thus preventing ROS over-production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visible-light-driven BiOBr nanosheets for highly facet-dependent photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: BiOBr with dominant {001}-facet (B001) nanosheets exhibit remarkably higher photocatalytic activity in bacterial inactivation, ascribed to the more favorable separation and transfer of photogenerated electron–hole pairs as well as more oxygen vacancies of B001 nanosHEets.
