A biocatalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acids.

Chem Commun (Camb)

Delft University of Technology, Department of Biotechnology, Julianalaan 136, 2628BL Delft, The Netherlands.

Published: December 2012

The hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus catalyses the hydrogenation of a broad range of carboxylic acids selectively to the corresponding primary alcohols. Other functional groups such as isolated C=C-double bonds are not touched. The chemoselectivity of the carboxylate reduction may be directed towards aldehydes by simple medium engineering.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare complication of multiple myeloma (MM), with limited data available on its incidence, clinical presentation, and treatment. The underlying mechanisms linking MM and HLH remain unclear, including the potential role of MM treatment agents in triggering HLH.

Methods: This case report presents a patient with MM who developed HLH while on lenalidomide maintenance therapy.

Feasibility of IR-MALDESI Mass Spectrometry Imaging of PFAS.

J Mass Spectrom

February 2025

FTMS Laboratory for Human Health Research, Department of Chemistry, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of emerging contaminants that have been in use industrially since the 1940s. Their long-term and extensive commercial use has led to their ubiquitous presence in the environment. The ability to measure the bioconcentration and distribution of PFAS in the tissue of aquatic organisms helps elucidate the persistence of PFAS as well as environmental impacts.
