Stanford researchers at the Zare Lab, Department of Chemistry, have developed a simple and eco-friendly method that could potentially produce substantial amounts of ammonia and urea, both of which are primarily used in fertilizer.
Researchers in the Burns group at Stanford designed a reaction methodology that allows for a green and inexpensive cycloaddition of amine or amide-containing unactivated olefins for the synthesis of biologically relevant cyclobutanes.
Stanford researchers have engineered yeast strains for de novo biosynthesis of tetrahydropapaverine (THP) and a semi-synthetic production of papaverine with high efficiency.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have developed a method for improving the productivity of biosynthetic processes via enzymatic detoxification of aberrant forms of NAD(P)H.
Stanford inventors have developed a cell-free method for carbon-negative biosynthetic production of commodity biochemicals by using hydrogen gas as a source of reducing equivalents.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have proposed a method to synthesize metabolic cofactors from inexpensive substrates for protein synthesis and commodity production applications.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan group have developed a electrolysis cell for generating and extracting liquid and gas product streams from CO and CO2.
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
Stanford chemists have developed a scalable synthetic process to create a new class of viscous, stable phospholipid bilayer vesicles with tunable properties.
