Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. In addition to performing biochemical reactions in living organisms, enzymes also function in vitro, which allows for the use of enzymes in ...

Let it not be said that professor of chemistry and biochemistry Kendall N. Houk of the University of California, Los Angeles, lacks chutzpah. Case in point: A proposal that highly proficient enzymes ...

An electrogenerated acid can catalyze the synthesis and simultaneous immobilization of imine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) onto electrodes, report scientists. Starting with amine and ...

When most small-molecule drugs meet a protein target, they nestle close to their intended. But the flirtatious relationship between drug and target is often fleeting, with the drug repeatedly drifting ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and organic waste, could transform how scientists clean polluted water and soil.

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 ...

Some enzymes, such as the one derived from fungi and investigated in this study, are able to produce valuable substances such as the fragrance (R)-1-phenylethanol. To this end, they convert a less ...

Biocatalysis is a process that utilizes natural substances, especially, enzymes, to enhance the speed of a chemical reaction. Scientists have stated that enzymes are responsible for the catalysis of ...
