A kinetic method was used to analyze the active site that hydrolyzes lichenan and xylan. The experimental data was in agreement with the theoretical values calculated for a single active site. Probing the conformation and microenvironment at active site of the enzyme by fluorescent chemo-affinity label, OPTA resulted in the formation of an isoindole derivative with complete inactivation of the enzyme to hydrolyse both lichenan and xylan confirmed the results of kinetic method. OPTA forms an isoindole derivative by cross-linking the proximal thiol and amino groups. The modification of cysteine and lysine residues by DTNB and TNBS respectively abolished the ability of the enzyme to form an isoindole derivative with OPTA, indicating the participation of cysteine and lysine in the formation of isoindole complex.

	The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are recognized as the core reaction processes in regenerative energy storage and conversion systems. The design of cost-effective and high-performance bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts (ECs) is very important for their substantial commercialization. Herein, sponge-like Co3O4 nanoparticles anchored on carbon (Sp-Co3O4/C) are successfully fabricated by a facile two-step solvothermal strategy for ORR/OER in an alkaline electrolyte. The Sp-Co3O4/C EC exhibits promising bifunctional ORR/OER activity with ORR onset potential (E onset = 0.88 V vs RHE), half-wave potential (E (1/2) = 0.75 V), limiting current density (j = -6.60 mA cm(-2)), OER onset potential (E-onset = 1.26 V), and OER overpotential for 10% energy conversion (eta(10) = 0.38 V) in 0.1 M KOH. It demonstrates a significantly lower reversibility index (Delta E = E- j10 - E 1/2 = 0.86 V), comparable to standard Pt/C and RuO2 ECs. The superior ORR/OER performances of Sp-Co3O4/C EC can be ascribed to the synergistic contribution of a high electrochemically active surface area (48.33 m(2) g(-1)), BET surface area (131 m(2) g(-1)), the rich interfacial structure of the crystal facets (111), (220), and (311), and the abundant oxygen vacancies in the sponge-like morphology. Besides the methanol tolerance, accelerated durability and chronoamperometric test established excellent durability and stability in the electrocatalytic operation. This work offers insight into the development of high-performance ORR/OER ECs. [GRAPHICS]</p>
