Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) mediate the facile conversion of methane into methanol
in methanotrophic bacteria with high efficiency under ambient conditions. Because the …

On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Metal-exchanged zeolites are a class of heterogeneous catalysts that perform important
functions ranging from selective hydrocarbon oxidation to remediation of NO x pollutants …

Bacterial methane oxidation using the enzyme particulate methane monooxygenase
(pMMO) contributes to the removal of environmental methane, a potent greenhouse gas …

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of
methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use …

Methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzymes activate O 2 for oxidation of methane. Two
distinct MMOs exist in nature, a soluble form that uses a diiron active site (sMMO) and a …

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of methane to
methanol in methanotrophic bacteria. As potential targets for new gas-to-liquid methane …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Cu-exchanged small-pore zeolites (CHA and AEI) form methanol from methane (> 95%
selectivity) using a 3-step cyclic procedure (Wulfers et al. Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 4447 …

Vast world reserves of methane gas are underutilized as a feedstock for the production of
liquid fuels and chemicals owing to the lack of economical and sustainable strategies for the …
