This Is What Really Happens When You Store Alcohol In The Freezer

Pure alcohol will not freeze in most home freezers, but alcoholic drinks with higher water content can. Carbonated drinks should be stored away from the freezer to prevent explosions and injuries.

Using alcohol dehydrogenases for the clean synthesis of amides and thioesters

Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...
