Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6A Novel 2-Aminophenalenone Fluorescent Probe Designed for Monitoring H2o2 for in Vitro and in Vivo Bioimaging(Elsevier, 2024) Saygılı, Ecem; Ersöz Gülseven, Esra; Kıbrıs, Erman; Çakan Akdoğan, Gülçin; Üçüncü, MuhammedA significant compound in living organisms, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a dual role as a signalling molecule in cellular communication and as a pivotal biomarker in assessing disease and oxidative stress. Thus, the detection of abnormal changes in H2O2 levels is essential to understanding its function and involvement in biological systems. The growing demand to meet the specific needs for applications, particularly in biological systems, has sharpened focus on highly sensitive, highly selective molecular sensors and, in turn, heightened interest in these diagnostic tools with innovative designs. In our study, 2-aminophenalenone (2-AP) was used for the first time as a fluorophore in a fluorescent probe. The 2-APB molecule obtained from the reaction of 2-AP with 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl) benzyl chloroformate exhibited a highly selective and sensitive (i.e. 62 nM) detection profile for H2O2 compared with the other reactive oxygen species, anions, and metal cations. Moreover, offering naked-eye detection in aqueous solutions, 2-APB demonstrated excellent sensing performance, detection and real-time monitoring in relation to exogenous H2O2 in cells and endogenous H2O2 in zebrafish embryos. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 45Carbon Nanotube-Graphene Supported Bimetallic Electrocatalyst for Direct Borohydride Hydrogen Peroxide Fuel Cells(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Uzundurukan, Arife; Akça, Elif Seda; Budak, Yağmur; Devrim, YılserAt present study, carbon nanotube-graphene (CNT-G) supported PtAu, Au and Pt catalysts were prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis method to investigate the direct liquid-fed sodium borohydride/hydrogen peroxide (NaBH4/H2O2) fuel cell performance. Prepared catalysts were characterized by TGA, XRD, TEM, ICP-OES, cyclic voltammetry and rotating disc electrode (RDE) voltammetry. The catalysts were tested in a single NaBH4/H2O2 fuel cell with 25 cm2 active area to evaluate fuel cell performance. The effects of temperature and fuel concentration on fuel cell performance were examined to observed best operating conditions. As a result of direct NaBH4/H2O2 fuel cell experiments, maximum power densities of 139 mW/cm2, 125 mW/cm2 and 113 mW/cm2 were obtained for PtAu/CNT-G, Au/CNT-G and Pt/CNT-G catalysts, respectively. PtAu/CNT-G catalyst showed the enhanced NaBH4/H2O2 fuel cell performance, which was higher than the Pt/CNT-G catalyst and Au/CNT-G catalyst at 50 °C. The enhanced NaBH4/H2O2 performance can be attributed to synergistic effects between Pt and Au particles on CNT-G support providing a better catalyst utilization and interaction. These results suggest that the prepared PtAu/CNT-G catalyst is a promising anode catalyst for NaBH4/H2O2 fuel cell application. © 2020 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 19Oxyhydroxide of Metallic Nanowires in a Molecular H2o and H2o2 Environment and Their Effects on Mechanical Properties(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Aral, Gürcan; İslam, Md Mahbubul; Wang, Yun-Jiang; Ogata, Shigenobu; van Duin, Adri C. T.To avoid unexpected environmental mechanical failure, there is a strong need to fully understand the details of the oxidation process and intrinsic mechanical properties of reactive metallic iron (Fe) nanowires (NWs) under various aqueous reactive environmental conditions. Herein, we employed ReaxFF reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the oxidation of Fe NWs exposed to molecular water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) environment, and the influence of the oxide shell layer on the tensile mechanical deformation properties of Fe NWs. Our structural analysis shows that oxidation of Fe NWs occurs with the formation of different iron oxide and hydroxide phases in the aqueous molecular H2O and H2O2 oxidizing environments. We observe that the resulting microstructure due to pre-oxide shell layer formation reduces the mechanical stress via increasing the initial defect sites in the vicinity of the oxide region to facilitate the onset of plastic deformation during tensile loading. Specifically, the oxide layer of Fe NWs formed in the H2O2 environment has a relatively significant effect on the deterioration of the mechanical properties of Fe NWs. The weakening of the yield stress and Young modulus of H2O2 oxidized Fe NWs indicates the important role of local oxide microstructures on mechanical deformation properties of individual Fe NWs. Notably, deformation twinning is found as the primary mechanical plastic deformation mechanism of all Fe NWs, but it is initially observed at low strain and stress level for the oxidized Fe NWs.Article Citation - Scopus: 21Linking Peroxiredoxin and Vacuolar-Atpase Functions in Calorie Restriction-Mediated Life Span Extension(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014) Molin, Mikael; Demir, Ayşe BanuCalorie restriction (CR) is an intervention extending the life spans of many organisms. The mechanisms underlying CR-dependent retardation of aging are still poorly understood. Despite mechanisms involving conserved nutrient signaling pathways proposed, few target processes that can account for CR-mediated longevity have so far been identified. Recently, both peroxiredoxins and vacuolar-ATPases were reported to control CR-mediated retardation of aging downstream of conserved nutrient signaling pathways. In this review, we focus on peroxiredoxin-mediated stress-defence and vacuolar-ATPase regulated acidification and pinpoint common denominators between the two mechanisms proposed for how CR extends life span. Both the activities of peroxiredoxins and vacuolar-ATPases are stimulated upon CR through reduced activities in conserved nutrient signaling pathways and both seem to stimulate cellular resistance to peroxide-stress. However, whereas vacuolar-ATPases have recently been suggested to control both Ras-cAMP-PKA- and TORC1-mediated nutrient signaling, neither the physiological benefits of a proposed role for peroxiredoxins in H 2O2-signaling nor downstream targets regulated are known. Both peroxiredoxins and vacuolar-ATPases do, however, impinge on mitochondrial iron-metabolism and further characterization of their impact on iron homeostasis and peroxide-resistance might therefore increase our understanding of the beneficial effects of CR on aging and age-related diseases. © 2014 Mikael Molin and Ayse Banu Demir.Article Citation - WoS: 86Citation - Scopus: 98Characterization and Catalytic Activity of Cufezsm-5 Catalysts for Oxidative Degradation of Rhodamine 6g in Aqueous Solutions(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Dükkancı, Meral; Gündüz, Gönül; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Yaman, Y. C.; Prikhod’ko, R. V.; Stolyarova, I. V.This study presents an evaluation of the catalytic performances of Fe and Cu containing ZSM-5 zeolites for oxidation of Rhodamine 6G. Fe and Cu were loaded by ion exchange or through hydrothermal synthesis. The catalytic process was carried out in an aqueous solution using H2O2 as an oxidant. The catalyst prepared by hydrothermal synthesis showed the highest activity (100% decolorization, 59.1% aromatic degradation and 51.8% TOC removal at initial pH of 3.5). This catalyst was stable against leaching even at low pH. The change in activity of the catalysts prepared was attributed to incorporation of the Fe and Cu species with ZSM-5. Fe and Cu were in structural locations - in the framework - in the catalyst prepared by hydrothermal synthesis while there were extraframework cations or species in catalysts prepared by ion exchange. Incoporation of Cu into FeZSM-5 increased its catalytic activity. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

No previous studies on the oxidation of carvacrol in the presence of metal salpn complexes have been reported. By using a general flexible ligand method, Cr(III), Fe(III), Bi(III), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes of N,N′-bis(salicylidene)propane1,3-diamine (H2salpn) encapsulated in NaY zeolite were prepared. All catalysts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses to confirm the complex encapsulation. The activities of all prepared catalysts for the oxidation of carvacrol and hydrogen peroxide were tested. The performances of all catalysts were compared on the basis of the leaching test results and carvacrol conversions. Thymohydroquinone and benzoquinones were observed as byproducts at high conversions of carvacrol. No product was formed in the absence of a catalyst. Fe(salpn)-NaY catalyst exhibited the highest carvacrol conversion of 27.6% with a yield of 22.0%, followed by Cr(salpn)-NaY catalyst with 23.5% carvacrol conversion and a yield of 17.6%. Other catalysts have shown relatively lower performances in terms of carvacrol conversion and leaching. The Cr(salpn)-NaY catalyst was found to be a more efficient catalyst than others on the basis of leaching and activity tests. With the selected catalyst Cr (salpn)-NaY, the effects of temperature and carvacrol/hydrogen peroxide molar ratio on carvacrol oxidation reactions were investigated. Increasing the temperature from 40 to 60 °C caused an increase in the thymoquinone yield from 6.2% to 16.0%. An increase in carvacrol/hydrogen peroxide molar ratio from 1 to 3 resulted in a decrease in the thymoquinone yield.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 21A Novel Silk Fibroin-Supported Iron Catalyst for Hydroxylation of Phenol(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Pekşen, Bahar Başak; Üzelakçil, Caner; Güneş, Alev; Malay, Özge; Bayraktar, OğuzThe aim of this study was to explore the potential use of silk fibroin (SF) as a catalyst support material for phenol hydroxylation reactions. Iron-substituted silk fibroin fibers were prepared using formic acid at room temperature and characterized using inductively coupled plasma atomic-emission spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and optical microscopy. Measurement of an FTIR spectrum showed that the secondary structure was β-structure before and after iron substitution. To evaluate the catalytic properties of prepared catalyst, phenol hydroxylation reaction was carried out using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. An excellent transformation of phenol into dihydroxybenzenes (catechol and hydroquinone) was achieved. Phenol conversions of 3.3%, 61.2%, and 80.3% were obtained at room temperature, 40°C and 60°C respectively. It was found that no further phenol conversion proceeded because catalysts became separated from the reaction system during the reaction. No significant leaching of the iron was detected. Catalyst could be reused several times without a significant change in activity. Parent silk fibroin fibers without iron were inactive.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Effects of Hot Rehydration in the Presence of Hydrogen Peroxide on Microbial Quality, Texture, Color, and Antioxidant Activity of Cold-Stored Intermediate-Moisture Sun-Dried Figs(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2005) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Arcan, İskender; Tokatlı, Figen; Yemecioğlu, AhmetPectin methylesterase (PME) causes considerable softening in intermediate-moisture (IM) figs rehydrated at 30°C and cold stored at 28% to 29% moisture content. Rehydration of figs at 80°C for 16 min inactivated PME partially (25-30%), but this did not prevent the softening over 3 mo of cold storage. Also, heating did not reduce the microbial load of figs significantly and increased their browning. In contrast, rehydration of figs 1st in 2.5% H2O2 at 80°C for 8 min and then in water at 80°C for 8 min reduced the microbial load of IM figs significantly, turned their brown color to yellow-light brown, and maintained their desired textural properties. The residual H2O2 in IM figs decomposed in 3 or 1.5 wk by the in situ catalase or by application of the iron (II) sulfate-ascorbic acid residue elimination method, respectively. Hot rehydration did not affect the antioxidant activity of IM figs, but treatment of figs with H2O2 increased their antioxidant activity slightly. These results indicate that the hot rehydration of figs in the presence of H 2O2 and cold storage may be applied to obtain safe and SO2-free light-colored IM fig products.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Potential Application of Hot Rehydration Alone or in Combination With Hydrogen Peroxide To Control Pectin Methylesterase Activity and Microbial Load in Cold-Stored Intermediate-Moisture Sun-Dried Figs(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2004) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Şimşek, Şebnem; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetSun-dried figs contain a considerable amount of pectin methylesterase (PME) activity (22 μM COOH/ min/g). The enzyme causes softening and loss of desired gummy texture in cold-stored intermediate-moisture (IM) sun-dried figs brought to a 28% to 29% moisture range. Partial reduction of PME activity (28%) delayed undesirable textural changes in IM figs rehydrated at 80°C for 16 min. The heat treatment did not cause a considerable reduction in microbial load. However, the addition of 2.5% H2O2 to the rehydratlon medium at 80°C reduced the initial total mesophilic aerobic count of figs by at least 90% and turned the figs from a brown color to a desirable and stable yellow-light brown. The in situ fig catalase remains after rehydration at 80°C. Thus, by reducing the contact period of figs with H2O2 or by pureeing figs, it is possible to eliminate residual H2O2 and to obtain safe and SO2-free light-colored fig products.Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 43Degradation Kinetics of Anthocyanins From Sour Cherry, Pomegranate, and Strawberry Juices by Hydrogen Peroxide(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Özkan, Mehmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Asefi, N.; Cemeroglu, BekirDegradations were studied at different hydrogen peroxide (H2O2] concentrations (9.31 to 27.92 mmol. L-1] over a range of 10 ° to 30 °C. Degradation of anthocyanins by H2O2 was described by first-order function. Comparison of t1/2 values revealed that sour cherry anthocyanins were the most resistant to H2O2, followed by pomegranate and strawberry anthocyanins. Thus, the removal of residual H2O2 from the juice contact surfaces of aseptically packaged strawberry juices should be controlled more carefully to prevent anthocyanin degradation. Respective Ea values were between 9.4 to 11.1, 9.5 to 11.4, and 11.4 to 12.2 kcal.mol-1; and Q10 values between 1.59 to 2.22, 1.62 to 2.05, and 1.76 to 2.36 for strawberry, sour cherry, and pomegranate anthocyanins.
