Recently, a research team from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has investigated the protein electrostatic interactions in E. coli cells by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
The study, published in Journal of the American Chemical Society on November 12.
Electrostatic interaction plays a vital role in many important biological reactions, such as enzyme catalysis, protein-protein interaction, protein-DNA/RNA interaction, and H+ transfer.
Most proteins perform their functions in cells. The compl...

Capacity degradation from highly reactive species of oxygen and free radicals has long bedeviled development of a next generation lithium batteries that use cathodes composed of layers of transition metal oxides. A new technique inspired by how living organisms deal with a similar problem appears to have now solved it for batteries too. For high-voltage lithium batteries using layered transition metal oxide cathodes, the chemical degradation of the battery's electrolytes results in rapid decay of its capacity, which poses substantial challenges to practical applications of this p...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed a confined thermal transformation strategy to synthesize nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon nanospheres (NMCS) supported SACs.
Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) are promising in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high atomic utilization efficiency and unique catalytic performances.
However, maximum utilization of the carbon-supported single atoms is very...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a novel bienzyme-catalytic and dioxygenation-mediated mechanism of anthraquinone ring opening.
The study was published in Journal of the American Chemical Society on Sept. 29.
Anthraquinones are a class of ubiquitous natural products in fungi and plants with diverse bioactivities, including anticancer, antiviral, antioxidative and antiinflammatory activities.
Cleavage of the C10-C4a bond of the anthraquinone ring is...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a universal methodology framework of GIS-LCA for the first time, which is supposed to greatly improve the standard framework of LCA proposed by the International Standardization Organization (ISO14040). The innovative framework was constructed based on a systematic review of global progress and challenges in GIS-LCA studies.
The life cycle assessment (LCA) is a comprehensive tool to quantify the potential environmental impact, that is, the environmental footprint (ecological footprint, carbon footprint, resource footprint, etc.), from a cradle-to-grave perspective.
