A research team has developed an enzyme that robustly and efficiently reduces formate to formaldehyde. This synthetic metabolic pathway is an important route for the sustainable conversion of CO2 into ...

(MENAFN- IMARC Group) Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas with a strong, pungent odor, widely used in the production of resins, textiles, disinfectants, and industrial chemicals. It is ...

This “endogenous” formaldehyde is ubiquitous, and sufficient amounts might be produced that could damage our cells. Work by Lucas Pontel and Ivan Rosado in KJ Patel’s group, in the LMB’s PNAC Division ...

Formate, the salt of formic acid, is considered an important cornerstone of future sustainable biotechnologies. A research team has developed an enzyme that robustly and efficiently reduces formate to ...

High-throughput devices can dramatically accelerate research. Here, 96 samples are tested at once for the enzymatic conversion of formate to formaldehyde—recognizable by the yellow color change. For a ...
