Optical nanosensors for oxidative stress.(Brief Article)

From: Chemistry and Industry | Date: December 5, 2005| Author: McCreedy, Tom | Copyright information

Processes happening within cells can be difficult to monitor without harming the cell, however, optical nanosensors can be incorporated into cells without appreciable damage. Kim and coworkers (S Kim, B Kim, V Yadavalli & M Pishjko, Anal Chem 2005, 77, 6828) reported the fabrication and characterisation of poly-(ethylene glycol) hydrogel spheres containing the enzyme horseradish peroxidase. The particles were made using a reverse emulsion photopolymerisation process yielding partic...

Study of the decomposition of four commercially available hydrogen peroxide solutions by Fenton's reagent
Water Environment Research ; ABSTRACT: Four commercially available hydrogen peroxide solutions were decomposed by Fenton's reagent under nonadiabatic conditions to determine whether their decomposition rates would vary because of differences in the types and amounts of proprietary stabilizers added.
