Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

RFdiffusion2, RFdiffusion3, and Riff-Diff each solve different structural problems in computational enzyme design ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

A platform to engineer enzymes responsible for the formation of amide bonds as an effort toward developing biocatalysts for green chemistry. Amide bonds — a type of chemical bond formed between a ...

Researchers at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have demonstrated how genetically engineered enzymes can harness visible light to drive highly selective chemical reactions. This ...

Skatole is an infamously smelly molecule that, in some anaerobic bacteria, is synthesized from ʟ-tryptophan in a four-step process. Now, researchers have found that certain aerobic bacteria only need ...

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 ...
