Rapid hydrogen peroxide decomposition in aerated alkaline solutions is described, the maximum rate being attained at pH values between 11.5 and 11.7, where the peroxide (pKa = 11.7) is ca. 50% unprotonated. The reaction proceeds with the release of protons and is strictly dependent upon the continuous presence of carbon dioxide, but not of...

FEBS Open Bio continues to go from strength to strength, with 2021 perhaps marking its most exciting year. In this Editorial, the Editor-in-Chief Miguel A. De la Rosa looks back at all the new developments of 2021 and forecasts the outlook for 2022.

Actually, liquid–liquid phase separation provides a simple but smart mechanism for the cell to control the spatial localization and processing of...

FEBS Open Bio and our fellow FEBS Press journals have a strong commitment to maintaining the integrity of the scientific literature. The life sciences, in particular, are suffering from an ongoing reproducibility crisis, and this may in part be fuelled by mistakes, manipulation or outright fabrication of the presented data. We were recently...
