Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

A research group at Uppsala University has recreated several billion-year-old enzymes and reprogrammed them to speed up completely different chemical reactions than their modern variants can handle.

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

Cancer is a universal issue which affects many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope a surgeon will ...

Biocatalysis, protein engineering, and flow chemistry are key enabling technologies that can yield drastically shorter and greener chemical processes. We sought to leverage these technologies to ...

Practically all biochemical processes involve enzymes that accelerate chemical reactions. A research team has now for the first time deciphered the molecular mechanism of the enzyme AsqJ. Their ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A research team has resurrected several billion-year-old enzymes and reprogrammed them to catalyze completely different chemical reactions than their modern versions can manage. The method can be used ...

We present EC-BLAST (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/software/rbl/), an algorithm and Web tool for quantitative similarity searches between enzyme reactions at ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

THERE is once more definite progress in enzyme chemistry to report, largely due to the resumption of the study of enzymes from the purely chemical point of view. The appreciation on the Continent of ...
