Jason Boock and Jason Berberich, both professors of Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering at Miami University, are researching methods to produce an enzyme that has large potential to change how ...

New research by Penn State researchers reveals how several molecular roadblocks slow the breakdown of cellulose for biofuels. Here, Daguan Nong, assistant research professor of biomedical engineering, ...

You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...

Process is similar to how our body converts alcohol An analogy helps to understand how this process works. Most people are familiar with ethanol, the alcohol found in beer and wine. When you drink a ...

There are over 5 billion tons of plastic waste accumulated across the planet, much of which are microplastics that may harm human health and pose a long-term threat to agricultural productivity and ...

Enzymes are natural catalysts with high catalytic activity, substrate specificity and selectivity. Their widespread utilization in industrial applications is limited by their sensitivity to harsh ...

In an advance that could one day lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, Meredith Jackrel, an associate ...

Tracking individual enzymes during the breakdown of cellulose for biofuel production has revealed how several roadblocks slow this process when using plant material that might otherwise go to waste.
