Proposed model for how acetic acid might activate the ion channel TRPA1. A new study in the Journal of General Physiology identifies TRPA1 as the sensor in animals responsible for identifying weak ...

Overview: Acetic acid otic is an ear drop that is used to treat outer ear infections (swimmer’s ear). It kills certain types of bacteria by altering their cell membranes and reducing their ...

The direct conversion of methane (CH4) into high-value-added multi-carbon (C2+) oxygenates, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH), ...

From left to right, water, HCl, formic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, citric acid. Note, only plants treated with acetic acid survived. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

But in its purest form, it can be be corrosive, flammable, and deadly. Approximately 100,000 pounds of acetic acid was released in the incident at the LyondellBasell complex, which caused burns ...

But a perhaps unexpected culprit is responsible for this ubiquitous acid: bacteria. The aptly named acetic acid bacteria are the variety of microbes solely responsible for the production of the ...

Engineers at Rice University have developed a new reactor that can convert carbon monoxide (CO) into acetic acid. Using tiny copper cubes as a catalyst, the device is relatively simple and can ...
