My first ever invited review is now available for all to enjoy (it's open access!). It's an overview of the current state of solvent-free liquid proteins and their potential applications, particularly involving ionic liquids. https://t.co/FobMNdl8IR

Chemical modification of proteins to yield solvent-free liquid proteins has been demonstrated to be a robust method for stabilizing proteins against temperature, aggregation, and non-aqueous enviro...

What’s cooking? A fossil fuel free future!♻️ Dr Alex Brogan (@apsbrogan) from @kclchemistry has used enzymes to produce fuel from food waste as effective as diesel, 1000x more efficiently than ever before⛽️ https://t.co/qXNopp6MOX

The new method could help slash carbon emissions in hard to reach industries like aviation and road haulage.

Pleased to share the latest paper from my group published in @green_rsc! Here, we show that by using ionic liquids, we can get a P450 decarboxylase to work at substrate concentrations 1000x that possible in water, and as a bonus - can be light activated!

Potentially the biggest thing we need to do now is to realise that universal climate change mitigation will no longer be possible, and shift focus to both climate adaptation strategies and more drastic interventions that don't necessarily need global consensus to be effective.

Pleased to have contributed to this report, neatly sets out the challenges faced in dealing with the plastic waste problem.
Plastic is used across most sectors and the resulting pollution may pose risks to human, animal and environmental health globally. To meet UN targets, the UK's approach to plastic waste management may need to change. Read our new POSTnote to learn more:

Amazing
If your state repeals gay marriage, remember that all Dunkin Donuts are technically a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts much like an embassy is considered foreign soil.

As is (now!) group tradition, and slightly belated, celebratory publication cake! Lead author must cut and distribute!
Check out our latest paper published today in @ChemicalScience ! Here, Desmond shows how the chemical properties of viologens influence bio-electrocatalysis, where stabilizing the 2nd redox state allows for highly efficient electron transfer.

Desmond (who doesn't have a profile on this site!) made this awesome little video abstract - check it out for a quick run-down of the paper!

This could pave the way for removing the requirement for expensive co-factors in biocatalysis, making it cheaper and easier to deploy enzymes for sustainable chemical production.

Viologens, 1,1′-disubstituted-4,4′-bipyridinium salts, are organic redox species that can be used in place of NADPH as mediators for redox enzymes. In this study, using the reduction of oxidized...
