Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

Practically all biochemical processes involve enzymes that accelerate chemical reactions. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now for the first time deciphered the ...

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 ...

Oct. 22 (UPI) --Scientists in Australia have successfully catalyzed chemical reactions using the replica of a 450 million-year-old enzyme. The new research, detailed in the journal Nature Catalysts, ...

Researchers have homed in on an enzyme belonging to the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) family as a promising target for increasing biofuel production from the red alga Cyanidioschyzon ...

In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes are also ...
