Enzymatic cycloaddition reactions form a cornerstone of natural product biosynthesis by enabling the rapid construction of complex ring systems with precise regio- and stereocontrol. These pericyclic ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

CABBI Postdoc Zhengyi Zhang works at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) at Illinois. Using photocatalysis, Zhang and his co-authors developed a more cost-effective, eco-friendly way ...

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered how water molecules are organized during plant hydrolytic reactions, knowledge that could have sweeping consequences for the biomedical, ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs), which generate electricity through electrochemical reactions between metabolites and O2/air, ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Enzymes are life’s tiny catalysts, orchestrating chemical reactions with extraordinary speed and precision. New research is revealing how their structure, evolution, and cooperative chemistry make ...

X-ray fragment screening combined with directed evolution turned a simple designed protein into two new proteins, including the most active designed enzyme to date.

The core principle of BETMAT’s Kinetic Chromogenic LAL Assay is based on the specific enzymatic cascade triggered by the interaction between Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) and bacterial ...

New research shows how engineered enzymes and cell-free systems can be combined to recycle CO2 into Acetyl-CoA and other building blocks.
