Abstract
We investigated the role of active site residues in the peroxidase activity of Orp1 (GPx3) using three different peroxide substrates. Using a structural homology model of the reduced form of Orp1, we identified Asn126 and Phe127 as evolutionarily conserved residues that line the back of the Orp1 act...

Abstract
Enamel surface microhardness significantly decreased after bleaching with nonenhanced 10% CP (WHI). The chemical analyses suggest F uptake promoted by high-concentrate F bleaching gels (CPF, OPA, and PN) and a F loss with nonenhanced 10% CP bleaching gels (PLA, WHI). CP agent enhanced with Ca (CPCa)...
