Recently, a collaborative research team led by Professor Yong-Qiang Li of Shandong University and Professor Yanmei Yang of ...

Enzyme Classification. Enzymes are classified according to the types of reactions they can catalyze: Oxidoreductases carry out redox reactions; Transferases transfer functional groups ...

Immobilized enzymes: Attaching enzymes to solid supports to enhance their reusability and stability in industrial processes. Synergistic enzyme systems: Combining multiple enzymes to catalyze complex, ...

This study investigated the effects of lanthanides on alkaline phosphatase activity, a model enzyme essential for phosphate metabolism. Reactions were conducted in 96-well microplates using a 0.1 M ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, ...

Despite natural evidence indicating sulfur's importance and efficiency as a catalyst for critical redox reactions, including ...

Enzymes speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions in cells. More specifically, they lower the threshold necessary to start the intended reaction.

Proteins are constantly moving, but our structures of them are static. Clare Sansom talks to the researchers using ...

Inspired by what human liver enzymes can do, chemists have developed a new set of copper-catalyzed organic synthesis reactions for building and modifying pharmaceuticals and other molecules. The ...

Sugar chains confer functionality to many organic molecules in glycosides. Enzymes like glycosyltransferases catalyze the synthesis of these chains in various biological systems. However, the ...
