Front Cover: Biodegradability of Carbon Nano‐Onions by Human Myeloperoxidase and Photo‐Fenton Process (ChemNanoMat 6/2024)

The human enzyme myeloperoxidase, found majorly in the blood secreted by the immune cells (neutrophils), is capable of degrading the carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) or multilayer fullerenes. The biodegradation of CNOs mainly occurs through generating radical intermediates of peroxidase and by reacting wit...

Description
Summary:The human enzyme myeloperoxidase, found majorly in the blood secreted by the immune cells (neutrophils), is capable of degrading the carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) or multilayer fullerenes. The biodegradation of CNOs mainly occurs through generating radical intermediates of peroxidase and by reacting with in‐situ generated hydroxy radicals under UV‐light catalyzed photo‐Fenton reaction. More information can be found in the Research Article by Silvia Giordani, Rajendra Kurapati, and co‐workers.
