Enzymes, the micro machines in our cells, can evolve to perform new tasks when confronted with novel situations. But what if you want an enzyme to do an entirely different job -- one that it would ...

For many years, the structure, stability, and catalytic properties of water-soluble enzymes have been studied by analysing their crystal structures and by investigating their catalytic properties when ...

Researchers at the University created an AI model called EZSpecificity to test how certain enzymes and substrates bind to ...

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about its ...

Mechanistically, the chemists think that in the presence of the enzyme, there’s a formal hydrogen atom abstraction that is ...

When it comes to building molecules, proteins in our bodies often do a better job than even the best chemists in a lab. That’s why scientists are trying to harness their power to find new ways to make ...

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 reactions proceed ...
