A team of researchers, led by Professor Chae Un Kim from the Department of Physics at UNIST, has successfully tracked the catalytic pathway of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), an enzyme that converts ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was published in Nature Communications. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford and international collaborators have revealed previously unseen rapid chemical stages in the formation of β-lactam antibiotics like penicillin, offering ...

Understanding Enzymes in Detail— "Catalysts that drive biochemical reactions at the necessary location, speed, and conditions" —Once you understand why life activities cannot exist without enzymes, ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able ...

A computational workflow designs proteins with catalytic efficiencies comparable to those of some natural enzymes — a landmark result for the field. Read the paper: Complete computational design of ...

Enzymes accelerate chemical transformations by organising substrates within a finely tuned active site and harnessing protein motions to lower activation barriers. Catalytic proficiency arises from a ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...

Chemical modification, fluorescence, and structural studies have identified one carboxylate, one tryptophan, and one serine ...
