The ability to simultaneously operate reaction networks in one pot is highly attractive as large modifications of molecular structure or perfect optical purity can be achieved in one processing step, ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

Emory University researchers led by Kyle Biegasiewicz have repurposed enzymes to produce diazo compounds from hydrazones ...

Chemical engineers have developed an online tool that can accurately assign genes and proteins to unknown 'orphan' reactions, which are a major headache for biotechnology, drug development, and even ...

A computational study focused on the mechanistic pathway of the SpnF-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction leading to Spinosyn A -- tetracyclic natural insecticide produced by the cells of the bacterium ...

CHAPEL HILL -- 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 ...

All metabolic pathways have to be regulated and controlled to stop the build-up of an end product that isn’t needed. The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a particular ...

Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process, an innovative and efficient route for olefin production via non-petrochemical resources, has achieved successful development and application in industry and ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

Researchers from ITMO University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje have fabricated a new magnetically controlled material composed of enzymes entrapped ...

Part of Biology (Single Science) Living together - Food and ecosystems Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each ...
