The Journal of biological chemistry.J Biol Chem.2014 Jun 13;289(24):17111-23. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M114.554410. Epub 2014 May 5.
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) contribute to lens protein pigmentation and cross-linking during aging and cataract formation. In vitro experiments have shown that ascorbate (ASC) oxidation products can form AGEs in proteins. However, the mechanisms of ASC oxidation and AGE formation in the h

Photodynamic properties and photoinactivation of Candida albicans mediated by brominated derivatives of triarylmethane and phenothiazinium dyes.

Alvarez MG1, Montes de Oca MN2, Milanesio ME1, Ortiz CS2, Durantini EN3.
Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy.Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther.2014 Jun;11(2):148-55. doi: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2014.03.005. Epub 2014 Mar 15.
The photodynamic activity of brominated derivatives of New Fuchsin and Azure B was studied in solution and in cell suspensions of Candida albicans. The spectroscopic and photodynamic properties of these photosensitizers were compared with those of Crystal Violet and Azure B, which represent active p

Increasing wildfire activity in the Alaskan Arctic may result in new sources of black carbon (BC) to arctic watersheds. Black carbon, primarily comprised of condensed aromatics, is one of the most chemically recalcitrant fractions of organic carbon. However, lateral transfer of particulate and disso
