HK-SKHLPSS # DNA-Enzyme Duo for Degradation: Using DNA duplex for faster PFAS degradation # Poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), also named as “forever chemicals”, are large complex groups of synthetic chemicals that are widely used in different consumers products because of its stability to heat, oil, water, etc. Hence, long lead time is needed for PFAs degradation. Research suggested that lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) can work together for PFAs degradation.

SDU-Denmark # In Vitro Optimization of Dehalogenases for PFAS Degradation # PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) pollution has garnered significant media attention in Denmark, due to its detrimental impact on groundwater and human health. A primary challenge lies in degrading PFAS, given the highly stable carbon-fluorine bonds present in their structure.
PFAS（パーおよびポリフルオロアルキル物質）の汚染は、地下水と人間の健康に対する有害な影響のため、デンマークで大きなメディアの注目を集めています。主な課題は、その構造に存在する非常に安定した炭素-フッ素結合のため、PFASを分解することにあります。
