image: An one-pot chemoenzymatic cascade reaction to synthesize chiral alcohol was realized by using the highly active and selective enzyme-metal-single-atom hybrid as the catalyst. The ...

image: Synthesizing hybrid enzyme catalysts in situ to improve and expand enzymatic catalysis is an important way to address challenges of industrial biocatalysis. In this account, the construction ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, ...

A research team led by Prof. Xiaoqiang Huang from Nanjing University has developed a novel non-natural dynamic kinetic oxidation system by integrating ferrocene methanol-mediated anodic oxidation with ...

The production of the sugar trehalose, which is used as a functional food and an additive in pharmaceutical products or in cosmetics, is a team effort for enzymes: One takes care of the construction ...

Using reprogrammed biocatalysts, researchers are pushing the boundaries of enzymatic synthesis with a method that opens the door to a diverse array of valuable compounds. Reporting in the journal ...

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 ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) have now derived universal ...

Bacterial styrene oxidase isomerase has been known to science for more than three decades, but its mechanism of action has ...

Scientists are exploring how RNA might have jump-started life four billion years ago and how it's now advancing drug ...
