Amides and thioesters are ubiquitous compounds in chemistry, used for the production of medicines, natural products, and advanced materials. Traditionally, their synthesis is a messy business, ...

Ethanol gets the blame for hangovers and alcohol-related organ damage, but the main chemical culprit is a different molecule. As a first step in metabolizing ethanol, the body uses a liver enzyme ...

In this work, we use comparative proteome analysis to identify a gene cluster in P. denitrificans that includes genes encoding for a transcriptional regulator (which we termed EtgR), an alcohol ...

Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...

Scientists at the University of Virginia have discovered an anti-aging mechanism mediated by an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol. Alcohol dehydrogenase, which in Caenorhabditis elegans and yeast ...

Background The effect of alcohol consumption on IBD remains inconclusive, potentially due to the overlooked role of alcohol ...
