Un acercamiento a la sexualidad desde las vivencias y aconteceres

Aside from leaning about natural systems, understanding ROS generation may help us design more robust protein systems for industrial purposes. Potent radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals, rapidly degrade engineered ET proteins. Outside of a natural system, there is no ability to repair proteins akin to photosystems; so avoiding these reactions is paramount. While we may not be able to avoid ‘leak’ of electrons to oxygen completely, we can likely suppress some of the reduction of oxygen as well as bias the leaks that do occur towards peroxide production. This system would allow for the detection of each product on a kinetic scale and the systematic testing of variables to decrease the ROS yields from industrial catalysts.

Alternatively, Fenton chemistry has its uses in industrial protein engineering. Laccase enzymes producing hydroxyl radicals are used for a range of industrial

processes from paper processing to pollution remediation (Prousek 2007). This system would also allow for the testing of hydroxyl-forming chemistry as well as the direct development of Fenton proteins to do participate these industrial reaction processes, possibly with greater catalytic efficiency.
