Enzymes are proteins that can change shape and therefore become active or inactive. An activator molecule (green pentagon) can bind to an enzyme (light green puzzle shape) and change its overall shape ...

CHANGES of volume accompanying enzyme hydrolysis have been utilised by Sreenivasaya and Sastry 1 to follow the kinetics of enzyme action by means of the dilatometer. The procedure employed in the ...

Researchers defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes could be used to create a wide array of molecules. They saw that Fe/2OG ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes – the biological ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleotide triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), was ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...

Researchers at the University created an artificial intelligence model named EZSpecificity to test how well certain enzymes and substrates bind to each other. Huimin Zhao and Diwakar Shukla, ...

Halogenated compounds are widespread in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. But the reagents used to make them can produce hazardous waste and mixtures of compounds. Enzymes can provide a ...
