Mitochondrial Targeting of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 and Its Role in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 activates diverse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to reactive species. Results: Processing by a cytosolic Ser protease activates a mitochondrial (mt) targeting signal of CYP1B1.

Solid-liquid organic matter interaction mechanism between kerogen and aromatic compounds

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
Under geological conditions, the initial generation of oil and gas in source rocks reaches saturation before being expelled and migrating, with the adsorption of hydrocarbons by kerogen being a key factor influencing oil saturation.

Optimization Strategy of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contaminated Media Bioremediation through Biosurfactant Addition

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
A microbial surfactant was investigated for its potential to enhance bioavailability and, hence, the biodegradation of PAHs contaminated soil. Phenanthrene, a 3-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), was chosen as a model target compound.
