Recent Progress in Photocatalytic Applications of Electrospun Nanofibers: A Review.

Electrospun fiber-based photocatalysts demonstrate significant potential in addressing global environmental and energy challenges, primarily due to their high specific surface areas and unique properties. This review examines recent advances in the application of these materials in photocatalytic processes, with a particular focus on water splitting and hydrogen production. The principles of the electrospun method are described in detail, along with the operating parameters, material characteristics, and environmental conditions that affect the fiber formation.

New fluorescent method for the histochemical detection of tripeptidyl peptidase I using glycyl-l-prolyl-l-met-2-anthraquinonyl hydrazide as substrate.

A new substrate for tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP I; E.C.3.

New fluorescent method for the histochemical detection of dipeptidyl peptidase IV using glycyl-l-prolyl-2-anthraquinonyl hydrazide as substrate.

Glycyl-4-prolyl-2-anthraquinonylhydrazide (Gly-Pro-2-AH) was synthesized and used as a new fluorogenic substrate for the histochemical detection of dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity (DPP IV). The enzymatic hydrolysis liberates 2-anthraquinonyl hydrazine (2-AH). Further on, the primary reaction product reacts with an aromatic aldehyde to give an insoluble hydrazone.

Original method for the histochemical demonstration of tripeptidyl aminopeptidase I.

The original histochemical method for the visualization of tripeptidyl aminopeptidase I (TPP I, EC 3.4.14.

Histochemical method for dipeptidyl aminopeptidase II with a new anthraquinonyl hydrazide substrate.

A new method for the histochemical visualization of lysosomal aminopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase II activity (DPP II) is developed. The substrate L-Lys-L-Ala-5-chloro-1-anthraquinonylhydrazide-2HBr (Lys-Ala-CAH) is readily hydrolyzed by the enzyme to release 5-Cl-1-anthraquinonylhydrazine (CAH). The last compound is simultaneously coupled to an aromatic aldehyde, e.
