A Theoretical Study of the Benzoylformate Decarboxylase Reaction Mechanism
Density functional theory calculations are used to investigate the detailed reaction mechanism of benzoylformate decarboxylase, a thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the nonoxidative decarboxylation of benzoylformate yielding ...

Selective Catalytic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol to Benzaldehyde by Nitrates
In this paper, ferric nitrate was used to oxidize benzyl alcohol in a mild condition and demonstrated its better performance compared to HNO3. In the reaction, the conversion rate and product selectivity could be both as high as 95% in N2 atmosphere ...

Activation of peroxymonosulfate by CuCo2O4 nano-particles towards long-lasting removal of atrazine
The effect of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by nanocrystalline CuCo2O4 (NPS) on removal of atrazine (ATZ) was studied. First, the main experimental parameters were studied, including CuCo2O4 dose, PMS dose, initial pH value, and co-existing ion.

Catalytic mechanism of F1-ATPase
The structure of the core catalytic unit of ATP synthase, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma, has been determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing a roughly symmetrical arrangement of alternating alpha and beta subunits around a central cavity in which helical portions of gamma are found.
