The main degradation pathway was determined for each system tested.
Hydrolysis of the δ-lactone is anticipated to be the main degradation pathway under this condition [26].
In organic enriched microcosms methanogenesis became the main degradation pathway when other electron acceptor pools were depleted.
The main degradation pathway of polyamide 6 is aminolysis and/or acidolysis, primarily through an intra-chain reaction, producing ε-carprolactam, which is the monomer of polyamide 6.
Meanwhile, through the scavenging radicals, the main degradation pathway of ZnO is the decomposition of MO, CR, and DB38 by ·O2 −, which indicates that the mechanism of ZnO for the degradation of MO, CR, and DB38 is the same.
Simulation results confirm that as of 2007, the main degradation pathway can be attributed to methanogenic degradation of organic compounds in the smear zone and the vadose zone resulting in a contaminant plume dominated by high CH4 concentrations.
Based on the findings, it has been suggested that the main degradation pathway follows a chain scission mechanism and that the scission of the isopropylidene linkage is the first step.
The proteasome is a large multi-enzyme complex involved in the main degradation pathway for intracellular proteins in eukaryotic cells.
It has been reported that the UPS is the main degradation pathway for α-synuclein under normal conditions in vivo while, with increased α-synuclein burden, MALS is recruited [ 56].
