Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. They are widely applied in industries such as food ...

A platform to engineer enzymes responsible for the formation of amide bonds as an effort toward developing biocatalysts for green chemistry. Amide bonds — a type of chemical bond formed between a ...

Practically all biochemical processes involve enzymes that accelerate chemical reactions. A research team has now for the first time deciphered the molecular mechanism of the enzyme AsqJ. Their ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out transcription, copying DNA into RNA. It's the first step in gene expression, and ...

Biocatalysis, protein engineering, and flow chemistry are key enabling technologies that can yield drastically shorter and greener chemical processes. We sought to leverage these technologies to ...

A research group at Uppsala University has recreated several billion-year-old enzymes and reprogrammed them to speed up completely different chemical reactions than their modern variants can handle.

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

A research team has resurrected several billion-year-old enzymes and reprogrammed them to catalyze completely different chemical reactions than their modern versions can manage. The method can be used ...

The enzyme development start-up Arzeda has landed a partnership with the consumer goods giant Unilever to develop enzymes for household cleaning applications. Many dish detergents and hard surface ...

THERE is once more definite progress in enzyme chemistry to report, largely due to the resumption of the study of enzymes from the purely chemical point of view. The appreciation on the Continent of ...
