Now that more complex aspects of biology are becoming ... the only reasonable picture of the catalytic activity of enzymes is that which involves an active region of the surface of the enzyme ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

In the case of the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase, it is induced into a better catalytic machine. Those conformational changes are barely detectable by the best physical tools available but are ...

The fleeting union of the enzyme and the substance on which it acts holds a key to our understanding of life processes. Many ingenious techniques are in use today to isolate it for study ...

Chemists have developed a way to make diverse chiral DNA catalysts by merging DNA repair with biorthogonal chemistry, paving ...

In an effort to find a new weak spot of this parasite, the research group led by Dr. Evžen Bouřa has succeeded in preparing a ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

Nanomaterials have become indispensable tools in biochemistry, providing innovative approaches to manipulate biological ...

But the insects have also interested creationists, who’ve argued that this complex ability can ... as has been shown to happen with other catalytic enzymes. Like other winged insects, beetles ...

Enzyme catalysis, which uses biological proteins to accelerate chemical reactions, has emerged as a sustainable approach to make chiral molecules. However, using proteins as catalysts poses ...
