A synthetic enzyme mimic has been developed to catalyze the insertion of an oxygen atom into stable aromatic rings, driving chemical reactions that run entirely on oxygen and produce only water as waste. The artificial system successfully replicates the function of naturally occurring extradiol dioxygenase enzymes while utilizing a non-natural metal ion.

Happy birthday to chemist William Henry Perkin (1838-1907)! This #lino print ‘William Henry Perkin Discovers Mauve’ is about how the British chemist & entrepreneur made the serendipitous discovery of the 1st synthetic organic dye: mauveine.
Perkins entered the Royal College of Chemistry in London in 1853 when he was only 15, studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann. 🧵1/n

@gutenberg_org Seems to me that every physicist *since* Robert Boyle has thought the same thing when reading any book 📕 on #SyntheticChemistry ! 😂
