Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Stefan Jopp at the University of Rostock. The image depicts the conversion of acrylic acid and n-butanol into butyl acrylate through an engine of Novozym 435, in which the powering piston CalB (Candida antarctica lipase B) is supported by the newly developed GMIM-I (glucosyl-methyl-imidazolium iodide). The authors acknowledge Dr. Johanna Meyer (University of Hannover) for the creation of the cover image. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/open.202200135.
