Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marina S Chow"
- Marina S Chow's recent research primarily focuses on the enzymatic processes and mechanisms involved in both environmental and biomedical contexts, notably the enzymatic removal of cyanuric acid in swimming pools and the mechanisms of anticancer drugs like bleomycin.
- One significant study includes developing a procedure using a thermostable cyanuric acid hydrolase to restore chlorine balance in swimming pools by hydrolyzing cyanuric acid, addressing public health concerns related to disinfection.
- Additionally, Chow has extensively investigated the activation mechanisms of bleomycin, revealing critical insights into its DNA cleavage process through advanced spectroscopic techniques and providing a deeper understanding of the role of metal intermediates in drug action.
