The effects of low frequency magnetic field (0-12 mT) on hydrogen peroxide oxidized myoglobin-isolate (MbI) were investigated. The results indicate that the primary target of the hydrogen peroxide oxidation was Met(Fe)Mb, leading to the fall off of iron ions from the porphyrin ring. Additionally, the increased magnetic field (≥9 mT) enhanced the release of more iron ions to react with HO, giving rise to the production of more hydroxyl radicals and the shift of oxidation site from porphyrin ring to Mb skeleton. Moreover, the directional movement of iron ions induced by magnetic field caused the generation of local micro-electric field and the rearrangement of charged groups on the protein surface or near-surface, thus affecting Mb aggregation. Overall, the magnetic field interfered with the hydrogen peroxide chain reaction process, changed the redox equivalents of Mb, and shifted the oxidation sites of Mb.

Introduction: Loss of skin integrity due to a wound or disease can lead to severe disability or even life threat. The highly expressed microRNAs in the skin are of great significance for skin development. The investigation purposed to explore the effect and mechanism of miR-211 on inflammation, oxidative stress and migration in keratinocytes.

Modulation of stomatal development and movement is a promising approach for creating water-conserving plants. Here, we identified and characterized the PagHCF106 gene of poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa). The PagHCF106 protein localized predominantly to the chloroplast, and the PagHCF106 gene exhibited tissue-specific expression pattern.

Oxidative stress is a major threat to plant growth and survival. To understand how plants cope with oxidative stress, we carried out a genetic screen for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants with altered response to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in root growth. Herein, we report the characterization of one of the hypersensitive mutants obtained.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are often employed in oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) for hydrogen peroxide production due to their tunable structures and compositions. However, COF electrocatalysts require precise structural engineering, such as heteroatoms or metal site doping, to modulate the reaction pathway during the ORR process. In this work, we designed a tetraphenyl-p-phenylenediamine based COF electrocatalyst, namely TPDA-BDA, which exhibited excellent two-electron (2e) ORR performance with high H2O2 selectivity of 89.

Within this context, cholesterol undergoes oxidation, producing the pro-inflammatory product 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC). In this study, we observe elevated levels of 7-KC in the brains of the 3xTg mouse model of AD.
