Economic biofuel production requires high sugar yields during biomass pretreatment, however, the chemical and structural features of biomass can be obstructive toward efficient xylose hydrolysis. Here ...

Aspirin prodrugs formed by derivatization at the benzoic acid group are very difficult to obtain because the promoiety accelerates the rate of hydrolysis by plasma esterases at the neighboring acetyl ...

Similar hydrolysis curves have been reported for several protein substrates, such as peanut (Jamdar et al., 2010), Jatropha curcas seed cake (Selanon et al., 2014), rice protein (Li et al., 2016) and ...
