Article Synopsis
- * Current methods for detecting these drugs aren't very effective because they don't recognize a wide range of them.
- * The study developed new DNA aptamers that can detect various synthetic cannabinoids at very low concentrations in human serum, significantly improving detection capability compared to existing commercial tests.
The enzyme dehaloperoxidase (DHP) found in the marine worm Amphitrite ornata is capable of enzymatic peroxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) and 2,4-dibromophenol (DBP). There is also at least one parallel oxidative pathway and the major products 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (2-ClQ) and 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone (2-BrQ) undergo aspontaneous secondary hydroxylation reaction. The oxidation and hydroxylation reactions have been monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry.
