The enzyme accelerates this reaction by 10 17 times, simply by positioning negative and positive charges in the active centre. Since the substrate contains a negatively charged group that is split off ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...

Reactions that can combine more than two molecular pieces in one go are a powerful way to build complexity quickly and save on costly isolation and purification. But the choreography for such a ...

image: An one-pot chemoenzymatic cascade reaction to synthesize chiral alcohol was realized by using the highly active and selective enzyme-metal-single-atom hybrid as the catalyst. The ...

Researchers defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes could be used to create a wide array of molecules. They saw that Fe/2OG ...

We know photosynthesis is a feature of plants which absorb sunlight and use the energy to convert atmospheric CO 2 into glucose. While sunlight peaks in the 400-700 nm region (of wavelengths), ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes – the biological ...
