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.

(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 ...

Although bioluminescence has been observed for many centuries, its application in biomedicine is relatively recent. Scientists traced back the first reference of bioluminescence to the Greek ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...
