Formaldehyde is a common chemical used in various industries as a disinfectant, resin precursor, and synthetic intermediate.

The present research thus shows how a dangerous industrial toxin, formaldehyde, can be transformed into a safe and valuable chemical, L-glyceraldehyde, using an engineered enzyme. This demonstrates ...

A reaction mechanism is a sequence of elementary reactions that can explain how an overall chemical reaction proceeds. Direct conversion of carboxylic acids to nitriles is desirable but ...

Reaction kinetics and dynamics refers to the study of why, how and how fast chemical processes take place. Chemists seek to understand the details of change at the molecular and quantum level and how ...

Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds, although the general concept of a chemical reaction, in ...

An allergic reaction happens when the immune system overreacts to certain substances, causing symptoms like hives or difficulty breathing. Severe allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis, can be ...
