In this paper we report our kinetic study of an oxidation reaction from valencene to nootkatone using enzyme in an oscillatory baffled reactor. The aims of this work are to elucidate the reaction mechanism and evaluate reaction kinetics. Towards these objectives, a full kinetic model using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood method was established and applied to the experimental data, allowing reactor schemes and orders to be confirmed and reaction rate constants to be extracted. Our full kinetic analysis suggests that most of the reversible reaction steps can be treated as irreversible, simplifying the overall reaction schemes. The effect of mass transfer on the kinetics was also investigated. © 2023 The Authors. published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Biokinetic models can optimise pollutant degradation and enhance microbial growth processes, aiding to protect ecosystem protection. Traditional biokinetic approaches (such as Monod, Haldane, etc.) can be challenging, as they require detailed knowledge of the organism's metabolism and the ability to solve numerous kinetic differential equations based on the principles of micro, molecular biology and biochemistry (first engineering principles) which can lead to discrepancies between predicted and actual degradation rates.

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique to interrogate protein structure and dynamics. With the ability to study almost any protein without a size limit, including intrinsically disordered ones, HDX-MS has shown fast growing importance as a complement to structural elucidation techniques. Current experiments compare two or more related conditions (sequences, interaction partners, excipients, conformational states, etc.

Objectives: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method for generating green hydrogen gas, offering a sustainable approach to addressing global energy challenges. However, the sluggish kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) poses a great obstacle to its practical application. Recently, increasing attention has been focused on introducing various external stimuli to modify the OER process.
