Structures of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase PhaC from Aeromonas caviae, Producing Biodegradable Plastics

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
PHA synthase (PhaC) is the key enzyme in the polymerization of a biodegradable plastic—polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Structures of full‐length PhaC reveal three key regions essential for substrate specificity and polymerization. Additionally, this study also highlights the critical role of N‐domain‐dependent dimerization in PhaC activity.

A Retrospective Analysis of Circular Economy and Industrial Decarbonization Metrics in the United States, 1998–2022

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, EarlyView.
Over two decades of emissions data are analyzed alongside economic indicators for 18 U.S. manufacturing industries. A retrospective analysis highlights interconnectedness (and in some cases, competition) between industrial growth, decarbonization, and materials circularity.

Sequence Control in Sulphur‐Containing Ring‐Opening Co‐ and Terpolymerisations

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Sulphur‐containing polymers offer unique avenues for degradability, recyclability and optical performance—but their synthesis is often plagued by side reactions. This minireview outlines recent strategies to control or harness O/S scrambling in ring‐opening co‐ and terpolymerisations, enabling precise sequence control.

BRE‐X Emissions Database for End‐of‐Life Scenarios of Selective Building Construction Materials to Enable Circular Economy in Construction

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the United States, construction and demolition debris predominately end up in landfills with minimal end‐of‐life Re‐X (recover, recycle, reuse, etc.) scenarios, resulting in large environmental impacts and lost opportunities for material recovery.
