This study presents a highly efficient approach to solar hydrogen production by pairing water electrolysis with the selective oxidation of biomass-derived glucose. Central to this advance is a ...

FocA is a representative member of the formate–nitrite transporter family, which transports short-chain acids in bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae and parasites. The structure and transport mechanism of ...

The origin of the elusive preference of copper chalcogenides for selectively converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into formate has long puzzled researchers. Researchers at National Taiwan University have ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system, ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new ...

Acetogens are a group of bacteria that can metabolise formate. For example, they form acetic acid -- an important basic chemical. If these bacteria were manipulated to produce ethanol or lactic acid, ...

Synthetic biologists from Northwestern University and Stanford University have engineered a new system that transforms ...

Researchers at the University of Warwick report that when the sodium formate is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...

Ethyl formate is a simple aliphatic ester that is full of benefits and concerns. It’s a clear, slightly oily liquid with a pleasant, rumlike odor and the flavor of raspberries. The ester occurs in ...

As a proof of concept, the engineers then used the same system to convert acetyl-CoA into malate, a commercially valuable ...
