Cover Feature: Enzymatic Cleanup of Formaldehyde in Aqueous Solutions (ChemSusChem 10/2025)
The Cover Feature shows an enzyme cocktail for degrading formaldehyde into carbon dioxide and water. Formaldehyde can leach from everyday products such as seafood and textiles, and these contaminated aqueous solutions could be harmful to human health. With catalysis by a cascade of four coenzyme-free enzymes, formaldehyde can be completely oxidized by ambient dioxygen into harmless carbon dioxide and water. More information can be found in the Research Article by Y.-H. P. J. Zhang and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202402711).
