Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 4 (January 26, 2021), pp. 1-8 (8 pages) We have studied the role of protein dynamics in chemical ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. Using an ...

The global transition to a hydrogen-based clean energy economy faces a critical bottleneck: current proton exchange membrane ...

Ruthenium has emerged as a pivotal metal in modern medicine, drug discovery, and biotechnology, with its integration into ...

Chemists created an enzyme with boronic acid at its reactive center. This approach can produce more selective reactions with boron, and allows the use of directed evolution to improve its catalytic ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

A research team has developed an enzyme that robustly and efficiently reduces formate to formaldehyde. This synthetic ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.
