Engineered living materials promise to aid efforts in human health, energy and environmental remediation. Now they can be built big and customized with less effort.
Carbon catalysis is an attractive metal-free catalytic transformation, and its performance is significantly dependent on the number of accessible active sites. However, owing to the inherent stability of the C–C linkage, ...
Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely ...
A joint research group led by Prof. Sun Chenglin, Prof. Wei Huangzhao and Prof. Li Rengui from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a new coupling strategy ...
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin have defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes could be used to ...
Solid-aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous and essential in a diverse range of natural and man-made systems and processes, from mineral formation, rock weathering and metal corrosion, to the intricate functioning of biological ...
HOFs are a class of crystalline porous materials with predictable topologies and tunable structures. They have been initially hindered by relatively weak hydrogen-bonding interactions, as many HOFs collapse upon guest solvent ...
The N2-to-NH3 conversion is a fundamental chemical process to supply nitrogen for modern industry and agriculture. Enormous efforts have been made since the invention of Haber-Bosch process, but it is still a challenging ...
Wherever the production of harmful greenhouse gases cannot be prevented, they should be converted into something useful: this approach is called "carbon capture and utilization." Special catalysts are needed for this. Until ...
Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model that can predict how fast ...
