Engineering yeast metabolism for the discovery and production of polyamines and polyamine analogues

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 17 June 2021; doi:10.1038/s41929-021-00631-zStructurally complex polyamines and polyamine analogues show potential as therapeutics and agrochemicals, but their production remains hampered. Here a polyamine yeast cell factory is developed that enables the gram-per-litre-scale titres of spermidine and the complete biosynthesis...

Following the structure of copper-zinc-alumina across the pressure gap in carbon dioxide hydrogenation

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 17 June 2021; doi:10.1038/s41929-021-00625-xCopper-zinc-alumina is used in industry to catalyse the synthesis of methanol from CO2, but many aspects of its high performance remain elusive. Now, by using in situ and operando techniques over four orders of magnitude in pressure, the authors show how the catalyst structure...

Interface dynamics of Pd–CeO₂ single-atom catalysts during CO oxidation

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 03 June 2021; doi:10.1038/s41929-021-00621-1Single-atom catalysts have become a frontier of heterogeneous catalysis, but to achieve a high stability under turnover is often a challenge. Now, a Pd/CeO2 single-atom catalyst prepared using flame spray pyrolysis is able to stabilize the isolated Pd species during CO oxidation...
