Abstract

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.
