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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by Prof. Xiaoqiang Huang from Nanjing University has achieved a major breakthrough in the field of asymmetric electroenzymatic catalysis, developing a novel non-natural dynamic ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able ...

Catalysis is fundamental to chemical engineering, speeding up processes at large scales. Now, with the integration of powerful machine learning and earth-friendly ...

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 ...

Progress has been made on the path to sunlight-driven production of hydrogen. Chemists present a new enzyme-like molecular catalyst for water oxidation. Humankind is facing a central challenge: it ...
