Active oxygen species (AOS) play an essential role in modulating the activity of activated coke (AC) based samples. In this paper, AC was endowed with abundant AOS by modifying with (NH)SO and MnO-FeO for Hg removal. (NH)SO treatment induced abundant micropores and oxygen-containing functional groups, and thus provided more anchoring sites for the dispersion of MnO-FeO. The synergy of MnO-FeO and interaction between MnO-FeO and NAC support contributed to a larger surface area, highly-dispersed active components, stronger reducibility, and more metal ions with high valence of MnFe/NAC. The optimal MnFe/NAC exhibited superior Hg removal efficiency above 90% at 120∼180 ℃, as well as excellent performance for simultaneous removal of Hg and NO, and 600 ppm SO and 8 vol.% HO addition led to a slight deterioration. XPS and Hg-TPD revealed that mercury adsorbed on MnFe/NAC included phy-Hg, C=O-Hg, COO-Hg, and O-HgO. Besides, the priority of AOS for Hg chemisorption was C=O > COO- > O, and Hg was also detected in the outlet. Moreover, the SO-poisoning effect was ascribed to the sulfation of MnO and the occupation of COO- and C=O, and FeO incorporation enhanced the SO-resistance through weakening SO adsorption on C=O and COO-. The motivation of O mainly contributed to the regeneration of AOS, especially O. The excellent regeneration performance and stability further affirmed the application potential of MnFe/NAC for Hg capture from coal-fired flue gas.

Polysaccharide monooxygenase (PMO) catalysis involves the chemically difficult hydroxylation of unactivated C-H bonds in carbohydrates. The reaction requires reducing equivalents and will utilize either oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as a cosubstrate. Two key mechanistic questions are addressed here: 1) How does the enzyme regulate the timely and tightly controlled electron delivery to the mononuclear copper active site, especially when bound substrate occludes the active site? and 2) How does this electron delivery differ when utilizing oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as a cosubstrate? Using a computational approach, potential paths of electron transfer (ET) to the active site copper ion were identified in a representative AA9 family PMO from (PMO9E).

Host plants and various fungicides inhibit plant pathogens by inducing the release of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causing DNA damage, either directly or indirectly leading to cell death. The mechanisms by which the oomycete manages ROS stress resulting from plant immune responses and fungicides remains unclear. This study elucidates the role of histone acetylation in ROS-induced DNA damage responses (DDR) to adapt to stress.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have emerged as promising treatment options, showcasing immense potential in addressing both oncologic and nononcologic diseases. Single-component organic phototherapeutic agents (SCOPAs) offer advantages compared to inorganic or multicomponent nanomedicine, including better biosafety, lower toxicity, simpler synthesis, and enhanced reproducibility. Nonetheless, how to further improve the therapeutic effectiveness of SCOPAs remains a challenging research area.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), is the global leading cause of irreversible blindness. Current first-line therapeutics, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonists, often yield incomplete and suboptimal vision improvement, necessitating the exploration of novel and efficacious therapeutic approaches. Herein, a supramolecular engineering strategy to construct moringin (MOR) loaded α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) coated nanoceria (M@CCNP) is constructed, where the hydroxy and newly formed carbonyl groups of α-CD interact with the nanoceria surface via O─Ce conjunction and the isothiocyanate group of MOR inserts deeply into the α-CD cavity via host-guest interaction.
