The field of sustainable polymers from renewable feedstocks is a fast-reviving field after the
decades-long domination of petroleum-based polymers. Amide-containing polymers exhibit …

Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid essential for synthesizing
tetrapyrrole compounds, including heme, chlorophyll, cytochrome, and vitamin B12. As a …

Cadaverine, a derivative of l-lysine, has been used as a monomer for the synthesis of bio-
based nylon-5, 6. This study engineered Halomonas bluephagenesis TD1. 0 by blocking the …

Herein, we present the development of a novel palladium catalyst supported on a urea-
based polymer and its application in aminocarbonylation employing FeBr 2 (CO) 4 as a CO …

Fe (II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (KDOs) catalyze a broad range of selective
C–H oxidation reactions. However, the difficult production of KDOs in recombinant E. coli …

Nitrogen-rich biomass, the second most abundant biomass after lignocellulosic biomass,
holds significant potential for producing N-chemicals. Since such chemicals are …

Bio-based cadaverine, a crucial monomer for the production of bio-nylon 5X, can be
synthesized during the bioconversion of l-lysine HCl relying on lysine decarboxylases. The …

Microbial cell factories provide an environmentally friendly and sustainable platform capable
of utilizing inexpensive substrates to produce chemicals. However, modifying the strain …

1, 5-Pentanediamine (1, 5-PDA) is one of the important monomers for the synthesis of a
variety of polyamides, polyurethanes, and other polymers. Selective decarboxylation of …

Nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) are an emerging class of polyurethanes produced by
circumventing the use of hazardous isocyanates and phosgene in their synthetic routes. In …
