Biocatalysis can be broadly defined as the use of biological molecules (usually enzymes) to catalyse specific chemical reactions. Enzymes are complex protein molecules. They are produced by living organisms to catalyse the biochemical reactions required for life. Although enzymes are formed within living cells, they can continue to function in vitro (in the test-tube) and their ability to perfo...

Nanodroplets of sulfur-stabilised copper nanoparticles effectively catalyse the aerobic oxidation amines to imines under ambient conditions.

Multicomponent reactions are employed extensively in many areas of organic chemistry. Despite significant progress, the discovery of such enabling transformations remains challenging. Here, we present the development of a parallel, label-free reaction-discovery platform that can be used in the identification of new multicomponent transformations. Our approach is based on parallel mass spectrome...

A semi-analytical investigation has been carried out to analyze unsteady MHD second-grade flow under the Dual-Phase-Lag (DPL) heat and mass transfer model in a vertical microchannel filled with porous material. Diffusion thermo (Dufour) effects and homogenous chemical reaction are considered as well. The governing partial differential equations are solved by using the Laplace transform method w...

Abstract Widely observed inertia of forest communities contrasts with climate change projections that suggest dramatic alterations composition for the coming decades. Disturbances might be a key process to catalyse changes in tree species under environmental by creating opportunities ‘new’ establish. To test this assumption, we compared two assessments (1993–1995, 2009–2017) from Swiss National...
