In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

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 ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

Using energy from light to activate natural enzymes can help scientists create new-to-nature enzymatic reactions that support eco-friendly biomanufacturing — the production of fuels, plastics, and ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, unveiled a new modular way to combine three mix-and-matchable molecular pieces into new amino acid derivatives using an engineered enzyme ...

A reaction scheme showing a hydrazone being converted into a diazo compound using an enzyme, potassium bromide, and hydrogen peroxide. Researchers at Emory University repurposed a vanadium-dependent ...
