Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, ...

Balazs says that the result is “a material that can take in a chemical and turn it into mechanical work, like eating a ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 15 (April 9, 2019), pp. 7298-7307 (10 pages) Thousands of biochemical reactions with characterized ...

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 ...

Nature has evolved thousands of enzymes to facilitate the many chemical reactions that take place inside organisms to sustain life. Now, researchers have designed artificial enzymes that sit on the ...

It turns out there is more to gas than a sheepish laugh or a quick departure from a crowded room. Scientists from Monash ...

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has successfully combined single-cell RNA sequencing ...

CHAPEL HILL – 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 ...

Chemical engineers have developed an online tool that can accurately assign genes and proteins to unknown 'orphan' reactions, which are a major headache for biotechnology, drug development, and even ...

Before sunlight ever reached the planet, another force may have sparked life—electricity. Deep beneath the ocean floor, ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research. By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, scientists created a hybrid capable of churning out molecules at a rate comparable to ...
