A research team led by Prof. YANG Yong from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a reusable heterogeneous non-precious iron nanocomposite comprising metallic Fe–Fe3C nanoparticles and Fe–Nx sites on N-doped porous carbon, which allows for highly efficient synthesis of quinolines and quinazolinones via oxidative coupling of amines and aldehydes using H2O2 as the green oxidant in aqueous solution under mild conditions.
The development of high efficient and stable non-precious metal-based heterogeneous catalysts to replace noble metal catalysts is an important research topic from the viewpoint of green and sustainable chemistry yet remains a big challenge.

A research team led by Prof. LU Xuefeng from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), made a systematic and comprehensive summary on designing principles and engineering strategies on developing advanced cyanobacteria chassis cells toward the requirements of photosynthetic biomanufacturing in future. The related work was published on Currnet Opinion in Biotechnology. Photosynthetic biomanufacturing refers to the technology of directly converting solar energy and carbon dioxide into biofuels and biochemicals based on photosynthetic organisms. It can simultaneously achieve the effects of carbon sequestration and...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. YAO Lishan from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has investigated the millisecond residue specific protein folding and unfolding dynamics in E. coli cells for two protein GB3 mutants using NMR. How proteins efficiently function in real biological environments with crowding and significant chemical and physical heterogeneity remains a fundamental question in biology. Typical cytoplasmic macromolecular concentrations are 300–450 g/L, whic...
