Scientists have explored different approaches to catalysis, a chemical process that plays an essential role in biological reactions, as well as many industrial applications. Chemical catalysts have ...

image: Enzyme-Photo-coupled Catalytic System (EPCS) is an emerging platform technology for green biomanufacturing that uses photocatalysts to capture solar energy and subsequently drives the enzyme ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was published in Nature Communications. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

A new enzyme-inspired, small-molecule catalyst developed at the University of Illinois holds alcohols and alkenes in just the right proximity and position to join into ethers, key functional ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...
