Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesize chemicals in a more ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research. By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, scientists created a hybrid capable of churning out molecules at a rate comparable to ...

For many years, the structure, stability, and catalytic properties of water-soluble enzymes have been studied by analysing their crystal structures and by investigating their catalytic properties when ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...

Pericyclic reactions, in which electrons move in concert to rearrange a molecule’s structure, are standard tools for synthetic chemists. But examples of such transformations in nature are fairly rare.

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection.

Reactions that can combine more than two molecular pieces in one go are a powerful way to build complexity quickly and save on costly isolation and purification. But the choreography for such a ...

The contribution of enzymes as a biological catalyst in almost all processes occurring in live organisms is significant. Studying the enzyme reactions taking place in a system, individually, is ...

The development of new therapeutics targeting protein kinases is crucial in the fight against diseases like cancer.

All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes. Their power as catalysts enables biological reactions to occur usually in milliseconds. But how slowly would these reactions proceed ...
