The carbon dioxide (CO) capture and utilization strategy has emerged as an innovative and multifaceted approach to counteract carbon emissions. In this study, a highly porous muffin polyhedral barium (Ba) ̵ organic framework (BaTATB; HTATB = 4,4',4″--triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic acid) was synthesized solvothermally. The three-dimensional honeycomb pore architectures were densely populated with Lewis acidic Ba(II) metal sites and basic nitrogen-rich triazines.

The structural groups of 2-oxindole and tricyclic 3a-hydroxy-hexahydropyrrolo-[2,3-]indole (HO-HPI) are important pharmacophores. Chemical synthesis of complex alkaloids containing a 2-oxindole or HO-HPI moiety, especially the latter one, has been a long-standing challenge. Herein, we characterized the P450 enzyme AfnD, and its homologue proteins, HmtT, ClpD, KtzM, and LtzR, as cyclopeptide 2-oxindole and HO-HPI monooxygenases (cpOPMOs) that could introduce a 2-oxindole or HO-HPI moiety into the tryptophan-containing cyclopeptides in a pH-dependent manner.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and its subsequent catalytic fixation into usable compounds represent a potential approach for addressing the energy problem and the implications of global warming. Hence, it is necessary to develop effective catalytic systems required for the transformation of CO2 into valuable chemicals/fuels. Herein, we rationally designed a hydroxyl-functionalized porous organic framework (OH-POF) consisting of both acidic (OH) as well as basic N sites for the transformation of CO2 using epoxides for the production of cyclic carbonates (CCs), a useful commodity chemical under environmental-friendly, metal/solvent/co-catalyst-free conditions.

Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) play pivotal roles in detoxification, catabolism, and signaling by converting epoxides into diols and have been implicated in several diseases, such as cancers and diabetes. EH homologs in insects are designated as Juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolases (JHEHs) due to their catalytic activity toward Juvenile hormone (JH). However, the biological function of JHEHs has been controversial in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Studying the mechanisms and effects of rejuvenators on SBS-modified bitumen is crucial for repairing degraded SBS and recycling aged SBS-modified bitumen (ASMB), thereby contributing to the sustainable development of bitumen pavements. This research examines the roles of mono-epoxy Alkyl (C12-C14) glycidyl ether (AGE) and di-epoxy 1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether (HDE) under the catalysis of N,N-dimethyl benzyl amine (BDMA) in repairing degraded SBS chains. Aromatic oil (ORSMB)-, AGE-aromatic oil (ARSMB)-, and HDE-aromatic oil (HRSMB)-rejuvenated bitumen are analyzed for their chemical structures, physical properties, and rheological properties.
