Artificial fusion proteins enhance methanol bioconversion

Methanol produced from coal is a key raw material in coal-rich China. A team around SUN Jibing at CAS Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology constructed fusion proteins of ribulose monophosphate pathway enzymes. The fusion engineering strategy enhanced methanol...

Electrochemical synthesis of ammonia: an improved catalyst at USTC

A team around Jie ZENG at CAS University of Science and Technology has found a MOF catalyst which supports the electrochemical synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen. When sulfhydryl compounds were added to a highly dispersed nitrogen-coordinated monoatomic ruthenium...
