Enzymes are essential for life and are one of the most important types of protein in the human body. Studying enzyme kinetics provides information about the diverse range of reactions in the human ...

Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.

Chemists at MIT have introduced an engineered biosynthetic enzyme that accepts a wider range of substrates into periwinkle plant culture to make unnatural analogs of alkaloids (Nat. Chem. Biol., DOI: ...

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells disrupted under low pressure in a Yeda press yielded a preparation (``pressate'') with high permeability toward substrates for Class A chloroplasts and intact ...

(A) FPs emit light via chromophore structural transformations and energy transitions. The chromophore forms through autocatalytic cyclization, dehydration, and oxidation of internal amino acids. Upon ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Study demonstrates how charge engineering can deactivate competing reaction pathways to boost ammonia electrosynthesis ...

Analysts interested in small volume sample preparation, culture growth, enzyme preservation, enzyme-substrate reactions, DNA amplification, electrophoresis gel degeneration, or serum coagulation ...

Adapted from a UC Berkeley news release. Synthetic biologists have successfully engineered microbes to make chemicals cheaply and more sustainably. However, researchers have been limited by the fact ...
