Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

An Idea to Explore: From How to Why: Using Evolutionary Biochemistry to Inspire Biochemistry Education

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional biochemistry instruction often emphasizes mechanistic detail, that is, how molecules and pathways function, without equally addressing why they have their present forms. This fact‐centered approach can leave students overwhelmed and disconnected from the broader scientific narrative.

Non-canonical nucleosides and chemistry of the emergence of life

Nature Communications, 2018
Prebiotic chemistry, driven by changing environmental parameters provides canonical and a multitude of non-canonical nucleosides. This suggests that Watson-Crick base pairs were selected from a diverse pool of nucleosides in a pre-Darwinian chemical ...

Eudragit®‐engineered pH‐responsive probiotic microspheres with enhanced gastrointestinal resistance and prolonged storage stability for inflammatory bowel disease therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This study reports the development of AMS@Eud core‐shell microspheres, combining calcium alginate and pH‐responsive Eudragit® L100, which exhibit exceptional gastrointestinal resistance and long‐term storage stability (only 5.28%–9.09% viability loss over 35 days at 4–25°C), and effectively alleviate inflammatory bowel disease via gut microbiota ...

The prebiotic evolutionary advantage of transferring genetic information from RNA to DNA. [PDF]

, 2011
In the early 'RNA world' stage of life, RNA stored genetic information and catalyzed chemical reactions. However, the RNA world eventually gave rise to the DNA-RNA-protein world, and this transition included the 'genetic takeover' of information storage ...

Prebiotic thiol-catalyzed thioamide bond formation

Geochemical Transactions
Thioamide bonds are important intermediates in prebiotic chemistry. In cyanosulfidic prebiotic chemistry, they serve as crucial intermediates in the pathways that lead to the formation of many important biomolecules (e.g., amino acids).

Control of self-assembly pathways toward conglomerate and racemic supramolecular polymers

Nature Communications, 2020
Homo- and heterochiral aggregation is a process of interest to prebiotic and chiral separation chemistry. Here, the authors analyze the self-assembly of a racemic mixture into 1D supramolecular polymers and find homochiral aggregation into conglomerates ...

Simple Guanosine—Amino Acid Hybrids as Low Molecular Weight Hydrogelators

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Unexplored guanosine‐amino acid derivatives act as low molecular weight hydrogelators. Gelation is triggered by K+ ions and pH changes and relies on G‐quadruplex formation. Small changes in the amino acid structure have a strong impact on the mechanical properties of the gels.
