We've had a few successes using directed evolution to create useful variations of existing enzymes, but efforts to broaden ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed a catalyst to simplify the ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

Unlike conventional methods that degrade material quality or generate additional waste, this breakthrough offers a cleaner, more effective solution.

New research represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch. With their approach, the authors designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, ...

To overcome this, the researchers created a hybrid catalyst using a zeolite, an abundant and inexpensive mineral, and a naturally occurring enzyme called alcohol oxidase. Previous research has ...

Enzymes are crucial to life. They are nature's little catalysts. In the gut, they help us digest food. They can enhance perfumes or get laundry cleaner with less energy. Enzymes also make potent ...

They proposed a Cu(II)-bound OCR as a key intermediate for the hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA), which behaves like an active site of a copper-based enzyme ... by the Cu(I)-catalyst, the developed ...
