The structures of Micrococcus lysodeikticus catalase, its ferryl intermediate (compound II) and NADPH complex [PDF]
The crystal structure of the bacterial catalase from Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been refined using the gene-derived sequence both at 0.88 Angstrom resolution using data recorded at 110 K and at 1.5 Angstrom resolution with room-temperature data.

The enzyme-like catalytic activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles and its dependency on Ce3+ surface area concentration [PDF]
Cerium oxide nanoparticles are known to catalyze the decomposition of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide. Herein, we examine the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) mimetic catalytic activities of nanoceria and demonstrate the existence of generic behaviors.

Bioethanol in biofuels checked by an amperometric organic phase enzyme electrode (OPEE) working in “substrate antagonism” format [PDF]
The bioethanol content of two samples of biofuels was determined directly, after simple dilution in decane, by means of an amperometric catalase enzyme biosensor working in the organic phase, based on substrate antagonisms format.

Scanning Electron Microscopy and Metabolite Measurement Revealed the Stress Mechanism of PS-COOH Microplastics on Rhodotorula mucilaginosa AN5 [PDF]
Microplastics in the marine environment have been paid more and more attention by researchers, and the impact of these substances on marine microorganisms can not be ignored. Studies have shown that PS-COOH Microplastics are harmful to marine molluscs, algae and monads.
