Directed evolution of α-ketoisovalerate decarboxylase for improved isobutanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol production in cyanobacteria by Hao Xie, Afshan Begum, Laura H. Gunn, Peter Lindblad

“…Out of the 1600 variants, 1B12, featuring dual substitutions K419E and T186S, exhibited a 55% increase in IB production and a 50% increase in 3M1B production in Synechocystis on the fourth day of cultivation. The crystal structure of KivdS286T was determined as a tetramer with a resolution of 2.8 Å to provide a framework for analyzing the structural basis for the enhanced butanol production conferred by the K419E and T186S substitutions. …”

Submonolayered Ru-modified Pd mesoporous nanosheets as multifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution and alcohol oxidation reactions by Xinran Jiao, Chaoqun Ma, Biao Huang, Dengke Zhao, Fukai Feng, Sumei Han, Nailiang Yang, Qipeng Lu, Yiyao Ge, Qian Xu

“…Here we design submonolayered Ru-modified Pd mesoporous nanosheets (Pd-Ru MNSs) with the exposure of both Pd and Ru active sites as well as the high atomic utilization of two-dimensional structure. The obtained Pd-Ru MNSs can act as a highly efficient multifunctional catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and alcohol oxidation reactions including ethylene glycol oxidation (EGOR) and ethanol oxidation (EOR), offering new opportunities towards the alcohol oxidation assisted hydrogen production. …”

Microstructural evolution and strength-toughness behavior of fire-resistant steel under thermo-mechanical controlled processing by Hyungkwon Park, Hyo-Haeng Jo, Chiwon Kim, Seong Hoon Kim, Kyeong-Won Kim, Joonoh Moon, Hyun-Uk Hong, Jun-Ho Chung, Bong-Ho Lee, Chang-Hoon Lee

“…Fire-resistant steels are engineered to retain high strength at elevated temperatures, typically maintaining a yield strength (YS) ratio (600 °C/RT) above 0.67 to prevent sudden structural collapse during fire exposure. Although achieving such strength retention is critical, ensuring sufficient fracture toughness is equally essential for structural reliability. …”
