Interfacial engineering and chemical reconstruction of Mo/MoC@CoO@NC heterostructure for promoting oxygen evolution reaction.

Chemical reorganization and interfacial engineering in hybrid nanomaterials are promising strategies for enhancing electrocatalytic performance. Herein, MoO@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) heterogeneous nanoribbons are designed through coordination assembly. By following heat treatment, a Mo/MoC@CoO@NC heterostructure with nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated CoO hexagons (CoO@NC) anchored on the Mo/MoC jag matrix was fabricated.

Calcium and sodium ions synergistically enhance the thermostability of a maltooligosaccharide-forming amylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus STB04.

Maltooligosaccharide-forming amylases (MFAses) are promising tools for a variety of food industry applications because of their ability to hydrolyze starch into maltooligosaccharides. However, high thermostability is a key requirement for enzymes used in these applications. In this work, we investigated the effect of Ca and Na on the thermostability of an MFAse from Bacillus stearothermophilus (Bst-MFAse).

Maltooligosaccharide-forming amylase: Characteristics, preparation, and application.

As member of glycosyl hydrolase family 13, maltooligosaccharide-forming amylases (MFAses) are specific and interesting because of their capacity to hydrolyze starch into functional maltooligosaccharides, which are usually composed of 2-10 α-d-glucopyranosyl units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic linkages. MFAses have been extensively studied during recent decades, and have shown promise in various industrial applications. This review begins by introducing the potential uses of maltooligosaccharides.
