Polyamines (PAs) are indispensable polycations ubiquitous to all living cells. Among their
many critical functions, PAs contribute to the oxidative balance of the cell. Beginning with …

Polyamines are ubiquitous and essential components of mammalian cells. They have
multiple functions including critical roles in nucleic acid and protein synthesis, gene …

Abstract Peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO 5−) is a widely-used disinfectant and oxidant in
environmental remediation. It was deemed that PMS reacted with chloride (Cl−) to form free …

The polyamines are small organic cations that are absolutely required for eukaryotic cell
growth. Although their growth requirements are well established, the molecular functions of …

Carbon dots (CDs) have a profound effect on elimination of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, but
the lack of an exact mechanism to interact with bacterial cells limits their development …

Completely updated from the successful first edition, this book provides a timely update on
the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant perception, signalling and …

Polyamines are polycationic molecules with a hydrocarbon backbone and multiple amino
groups. Descriptions of the physiological roles of polyamines have often been limited to their …

The anticancer activity of DNA intercalators is related to their ability to intercalate into the
DNA duplex with high affinity, thereby interfering with DNA replication and transcription …

The polyamines spermidine and spermine have been hypothesized to possess different
functions in the protection of DNA from reactive oxygen species. The growth and survival of …

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the potential for 1 O 2 to induce oxidation of
cellular DNA. For this purpose cells were incubated in the presence of a water-soluble …
