Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis technology that produces precursors of biodegradable nylon from biomass-derived compounds and ammonia.

For each structural strain of tau fibrils, they identified amino acids without which the strain cannot form its signature ...

This time, by using L-alanine, an amino acid with a similar structure, the team created raw material for a nylon-type biodegradable plastic. The findings were published in Sustainable Energy & Fuels.
