Circe: Using Microbes to Make Biodegradable Products
Current manufacturing methods release harmful greenhouse gases and pollution, and many of the products produced do not biodegrade, damaging our ecosystems even further. What if we could turn greenhouse gases into biodegradable products? Researchers at the Wyss Institute are using synthetic biology to make this a reality. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University

Enzymes Degrading Cellulose: From Molecular Mechanisms To Traffic Simulator
Cellulose is a major component of plant cell wall and the most abundant biomass on earth. Efficient degradation of cellulose makes it possible to produce fuels and chemicals from plant resources for the achievement of Bioeconomy. Cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) are types of cellulases hydrolyzing crystalline cellulose to soluble oligosaccharides, and one of the key enzymes in... Free and open to public
