Accelerated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Enzymatic Degradation by Room Temperature Alkali Pre-treatment for Reduced Polymer Crystallinity
Wiley (2022-11-07)Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely employed plastic for single-use applications. The use of enzymes isolated from microorganisms, such as PETase with the capacity to hydrolyze PET into its monomers, ... -
Active biopolymers in green non-conventional media: a sustainable tool for developing clean chemical processes
Royal Society of Chemistry (2015-10-15)The greenness of chemical processes turns around two main axes: the selectivity of catalytic transformations, and the separation of pure products. The transfer of the exquisite catalytic efficiency shown by enzymes in ... -
Biocatalytic synthesis of oxygenated biofuels through the technologies of ionic liquids and supercritical carbon dioxide
Sociedad Española de Biotecnología (2019-06-10)The increase in the production of biofuels has generated in the market an excess of glycerol as a byproduct. Some glycerol derivatives, such as solketal (1,2-isopropylidene glycerol), have been used successfully to ... -
Computational Study of the Phosphoryl Donor Activity of Dihydroxyacetone Kinase from ATP to Inorganic Polyphosphate
Wiley (2017-10)Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main biological phosphoryl donor required in many enzymes including dihydroxyacetone kinases (DHAKs) that convert dihydroxyacetone (Dha) into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (Dha-P), a key ... -
Emerging trends in flow chemistry enabled by 3D printing: Robust reactors, biocatalysis and electrochemistry
Elsevier (2020-10)This contribution reviews the state of the art in the employment of additive manufacturing for the development of continuous-flow reactors, highlighting their potential for developing green and sustainable chemical processes. ... -
Mechanistic studies of a lipase unveil effect of pH on hydrolysis products of small PET modules
Springer Nature (2023-06-15)Biocatalysis is a key technology enabling plastic recycling. However, despite advances done in the development of plastic-degrading enzymes, the molecular mechanisms that govern their catalytic performance are poorly ... -
Stereoselective chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure 2-(1H-imidazol-yl)cycloalkanols under continuous flow conditions
American Chemical Society (2012-07)The development of continuous flow processes for the synthesis of chiral enantiopure 1-(2-hydroxycycloalkyl)imidazoles is reported. For the ring-opening reaction microwave batch processes and continuous flow reactions have ... -
The catalytic mechanism of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Trypanosoma cruzi elucidated via the QM/MM approach
Royal Society of Chemistry (2013)Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has been identified as a key enzyme involved in glycolysis processes for energy production in the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite. This enzyme catalyses the oxidative phosphorylation ...
