In biology, a group of enzymes called 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases is responsible for catalyzing a wide range of ...

Ultrafast X-rays reveal how enzymes make penicillin and process oxygen, exposing molecular steps that could guide future ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford and international collaborators have revealed previously unseen rapid chemical ...

Many chemical reactions require the input of energy to activate the transformation. This can often be in the form of heat, or chemical energy. One of the most efficient ways of introducing energy into ...

A new critical review maps how light-activated photonanozymes are engineered, what they can catalyze, and the hurdles ...

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 at ITQB NOVA have characterised the first bacterial galactose oxidase and engineered it into a biocatalyst up to ...

Researchers used XFEL technology to observe the enzyme isopenicillin N synthase as it converts its linear peptide substrate into the ring system of penicillin.

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 ...
