    Functional Characterization of a Novel Cyp119 Variant To Explore Its Biocatalytic Potential
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Sakalli, T.; Surmeli, N.B.
    Biocatalysts are increasingly applied in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are valuable biocatalysts due to their ability to hydroxylate unactivated carbon atoms using molecular oxygen. P450s catalyze reactions using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P)H) cofactor and electron transfer proteins. Alternatively, P450s can utilize hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant, but this pathway is inefficient. P450s that show higher efficiency with peroxides are sought after in industrial applications. P450s from thermophilic organisms have more potential applications as they are stable toward high temperature, high and low pH, and organic solvents. CYP119 is an acidothermophilic P450 from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In our previous study, a novel T213R/T214I (double mutant [DM]) variant of CYP119 was obtained by screening a mutant library for higher peroxidation activity utilizing H2O2. Here, we characterized the substrate scope; stability toward peroxides; and temperature and organic solvent tolerance of DM CYP119 to identify its potential as an industrial biocatalyst. DM CYP119 displayed higher stability than wild-type (WT) CYP119 toward organic peroxides. It shows higher peroxidation activity for non-natural substrates and higher affinity for progesterone and other bioactive potential substrates compared to WT CYP119. DM CYP119 emerges as a new biocatalyst with a wide range of potential applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. © 2021 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

    Effect of Compaction and Fluoride Content on the Remelting Efficiency of Pure Magnesium Chips
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Yörük, Pınar; Gökelma, Mertol; Derin, Bora
    Magnesium is widely used in industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical fields. The demand on magnesium has been growing, although the production and melt treatment is complex due to strong oxidation tendency. Recycling of magnesium scraps is crucial due to the criticality of magnesium-containing raw materials in Europe as well as increasing environmental concerns. Remelting of magnesium is typically conducted under a salt flux which absorbs the impurities and protects the melt against oxidation. This study investigates the effect of compaction, fused salt flux, and salt composition on remelting behavior of magnesium chips. Metal yield and coagulation efficiency were calculated after remelting, and samples were characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction. The liquidus temperature and density of fluxes were analyzed by FactSage software. Remelting of compacted chips under a fused salt flux with 5 wt.% CaF2 showed the highest magnesium recovery with a yield of 97.7%. Le magnesium est largement utilise dans une variete d'industries, telles que les domaines de l'automobile, de l'aerospatiale et de la medecine. La demande en magnesium s'est accrue, bien que la production et le traitement du bain soient complexes en raison de sa forte tendance a l'oxydation. Le recyclage des dechets de magnesium est crucial en raison de la criticite des matieres premieres contenant du magnesium en Europe ainsi que des preoccupations environnementales croissantes. La refusion du magnesium est effectuee typiquement sous un flux de sel qui absorbe les impuretes et protege le bain contre l'oxydation. Cette etude examine l'effet du compactage, du flux de sel fondu et de la composition du sel sur le comportement a la refusion des copeaux de magnesium. On a calcule le rendement en metal et l'efficacite de la coagulation apres des experiences de refusion, et l'on a caracterise les echantillons a l'aide d'un microscope electronique a balayage et de la diffraction des rayons X. On a analyse la temperature du liquidus (Tliq) et la densite des flux de sel avec le logiciel FactSage. La refusion des copeaux compactes sous un flux de sel fondu avec 5% en poids de CaF2 a montre la recuperation de magnesium la plus elevee avec un rendement de 97.7%

    Treatment of Sugar Industry Wastewater by Using Subcritical Water as a Reaction Media
    (Wiley, 2023) Orak, Ceren; Öcal, Bulutcem; Yüksel, Aslı
    The sugar industry is one of the most wastewater-producing industries and it contains high content of organic and inorganic substances. Treating and reusing wastewater has significant importance because sugar industry needs to use a high volume of water. In this study, sugar industry wastewater was treated under subcritical conditions and the impacts of reaction temperature and duration over TOC removal percentage were investigated. Additionally, the impact of NaOH concentration over TOC removal percentage was examined. The highest TOC removal was obtained almost 95 % in the presence of 0.1 M of NaOH at 240 degrees C for 90 min of reaction duration. Treatment of sugar industry wastewater by subcritical water oxidation followed the second-order reaction kinetic model and the activation energy was found as 11.41 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the intermediate products were identified via GC-MS.
