Ionic liquids for biomass fractionation

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant and renewable carbon source, but there are various drawbacks in the traditional methods used to process it. This review discusses the use of ionic liquid technology as a tool for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation

Microwaves for solubilization of inclusion bodies

Production of recombinant proteins in bacterial hosts often produces insoluble inclusion bodies. This paper presents a new method that uses microwaves to facilitate solubilisation of inclusion bodies, reducing the time from hours to minutes

A free molecule editor in JavaScript

A free molecule editor written in JavaScript was developed and is released under the terms of permissive BSD license. The editor is compatible with JME, has practically the same user interface as well as the web application programming interface.

ChEMBL database as linked open data

An ongoing project converting data from the ChEMBL database into RDF triples. The ChEMBL-RDF resource creates a foundation for integrated semantic web cheminformatics applications.

The genetics and neuroscience of flavour

This new article collection explores how the fields of genetics and neuroscience are beginning to impact on our understanding of flavour experience, how it is produced and what underpins individual differences.

Silver nanoparticles in soils

Speciation results are acquired using a silver ion selective electrode in 3 soils. The study differentiates free silver ions from silver in the <0.45 µm fraction in soil solution and helps us understand how nanosilver reacts in soils.
