Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, allowing them to proceed at a faster rate. This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The ...
As there is no known natural enzyme that could catalyze S N Ar reactions, the team initially discovered that an enzyme previously developed in their laboratory for a different chemical ...
The structural analysis of redox enzymes in their reduced and oxidized states is crucial for advancing bioelectronic devices like biosensors and biofuel cells. In a recent study, researchers from ...
The situation is different with biocatalysts: these natural enzymes catalyze just one reaction and therefore only yield one product. However, they are complicated to handle, very sensitive or ...
However, it is safe to say that no enzyme is perfect in the sense of catalyzing only a single reaction with a single substrate. For enzymes such as P450s and glutathione S-transferases that are ...
