  2. 16. Directed Evolution of Glutathione Transferases with Altered Substrate Selectivity Profiles : A Laboratory Evolution Study Shedding Light on the Multidimensional Nature of Epistasis

    Author : Wei Zhang; Bengt Mannervik; Bengt-Harald Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; glutathione transferase; azathioprine; directed evolution; semi-rational design; catalytic mechanism; saturation mutagenesis; reduced amino acid alphabets; molecular docking; protein evolution; multivariate data analysis; epistasis; fitness landscape; evolutionary trajectories; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Directed evolution is generally regarded as a useful approach in protein engineering. By subjecting members of a mutant library to the power of Darwinian evolution, desired protein properties are obtained. Numerous reports have appeared in the literature showing the success of tailoring proteins for various applications by this method. READ MORE

  4. 17. A mechanistic description of the evolution of aromatic tar during catalytic upgrading of the raw gas produced from biomass steam gasification

    Author : Huong Nguyen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomass gasification; raw gas; catalytic raw gas upgrading; ilmenite; kinetic model; tar;

    Abstract : The removal of tar from the raw gas produced during biomass gasification is a prerequisite for the viability of the process downstream of the gasifier. The tar, the composition of which is dominated by aromatics, readily condenses, leading to process disruption. READ MORE

  5. 18. Methane oxidation over palladium oxide. From electronic structure to catalytic conversion

    Author : Maxime van den Bossche; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; core-level spectroscopy; heterogeneous catalysis; PdO 101 ; palladium oxide; methane oxidation; microkinetic modelling; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Understanding how catalysts work down to the atomic level can provide ways to improve chemical processes on which our contemporary economy is heavily reliant. The oxidation of methane is one such example, which is important from an environmental point of view. READ MORE

  6. 19. Hydrolytic and oxidative catalytic activities of bio-inspired dinuclear metal complexes

    Author : Biswanath Das; Kemisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioinorganic Chemistry; Metalloenzymes; Catalyst; Transition states; Phosphoesterase;

    Abstract : A number of homo- and heterodinuclear complexes have been synthesized as structural and functional models for the the active sites of phosphoesterases and soluble methane monooxygenases. The complexes are based on four new dinucleating ligands containing a central, potentially bridging, phenolate moiety. READ MORE

  7. 20. A Catalytic and Mechanistic Investigation of Palladium-Phosphine Catalysed Aqueous Hydroxycarbonylation. Steric and Electronic Properties of the Ligands

    Author : Adriana Ionescu; Kemiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; Isomerisation of hydroxyalkenes; Mechanism; Regioselectivity; Steric and electronic properties; Hydroxycarbonylation of styrene; Water-soluble phosphines; Palladium; Aqueous catalysis;

    Abstract : The steric and electronic properties of eight water-soluble phosphines (1-8) were investigated by different methods. Phosphines 1-6 were tested as ligands in palladium catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of styrene. READ MORE
