Sonocatalytic damage of bovine serum albumin (BSA) under ultrasonic irradiation with TiO₂/tooth composite

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In order to effectively degrade bovine serum albumin (BSA) under ultrasonic irradiation, biological mineral material (tooth powder) was adopted to mix with nano-sized TiO 2 powder. A TiO 2 /tooth composite with high sonocatalytic activity and remarkable selectivity was prepared.

Construction of Z‐scheme Pt‐TiO2/(Er3+:Y3Al5O12@Ta2O5)/HAP and its application in sonocatalytic degradation of prometryn and disinfection of Escherichia coli

“…In the past, the commonly used methods for removing prometryn included adsorption, ozone oxidation and Fenton oxidation . Recently, ultrasound oxidation technology has been considered as an ideal method for the treatment of wastewater . In fact, ultrasound technology can be employed to treat low transparent or non‐transparent wastewater with complex components, such as pharmaceutical, herbicide and dye wastewaters .…”

Photodegradation of β-sheet amyloid fibrils associated with Alzheimer's disease by using polyoxometalates as photocatalysts

“…The generated free radicals can weaken the hydrogen bonds among amino acid residual groups, resulting in the destruction of the secondary structure and the loss of the a-helical configuration of Ab peptides. 19 Critically, the bound POM would hinder the Ab peptides from forming proteolysis-resistant soluble dimers during the process of ROS generation.…”
