Enzyme Catalysis The Post group has worked to understand the basis of the catalytic power of enzymes using information from crystallography, kinetics, and a description of conformational distributions ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University have discovered a versatile enzyme from Bacillus subtilis that efficiently attaches phosphate groups to a wide variety of phenolic molecules, offering a ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Catalysis on February 10, 2020, reports the creation of a new artificial enzyme from two components, both non-biological in origin. This event marks the ...

K956: Catalysis – MnO2 catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 (“Genie in a Bottle”) Introduction Catalysis of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is demonstrated in a foil-covered florence flask or fancy ...

A pioneering research lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has achieved another milestone using light-driven enzymatic reactions to convert simple biological building blocks into ...

Compared with traditional chemical synthesis, enzyme catalysis is more environmentally friendly and efficient. It has been widely used in the industrial production of functional molecules such as ...

Previous research in the Noel lab looked at how these enzymes evolved from non-enzyme proteins, including studying more primitive versions of them that appear in organisms such as bacteria and fungi.
