The enzyme Candida antarctica lipase B was subjected to site directed mutagenesis suggested by molecular modelling. The selectivity for the enzyme increased towards a range of diols over their corresponding monoesters as an effect of the mutations.

The demand of high throughput methods for the determination of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and its precursors gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4-butane-diol (1,4BD) as well as for pregabalin is increasing. Here we present two analytical methods using ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC) and
Novel potentially biobased aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene furandicarboxylate) (PBSFs) in full composition range were successfully synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FA), succinic acid (SA), and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) via an esterification and polycondensation process using tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) or TBT/La(acac)(3) as catalyst.

Diols are chemicals with two hydroxyl groups which have a wide range of appealing applications as chemicals and fuels. In particular, four diol compounds, namely 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO), 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) can be biotechnologically produced by direct
Electrospinning from a melt, in contrast to from a solution, is an attractive tissue engineering scaffold manufacturing process as it allows for the formation of small diameter fibers while eliminating potentially cytotoxic solvents. Despite this, there is a dearth of
